So you were more intrested in your Mobile phone rather than listerning to the lecturer on how and what forces are needed to stop a train that you might be driving???

Hope you never drive a train im on, no matter if its one above the ground or one under.

i dont think you need to find out, this is pretty much what you mean, i posted it nearly a page ago

so lets start over, the train is traveling at 2000mph (as quoted above) the car is traveling at 5mph

so just need to know is the force 'momentum'/ kinetic or are we stopping this train/car so we are talking braking force or are we making these vehicles do these speeds in gerbil power- if so it takes the same amount of gerbils to make a train do the double mil as it does to make a fiesta do 5mph?

A car travelling at 2000mph is the same as a train doing 5mph. The same is the force it would hit you perhaps?

If a train is travelling at 5mph, it would require the same force to stop it as a car travelling at 2000mph would due to the weight difference

EDIT: I TRIED TO DO THAT IN CAPS TO UNLEASH THE FURY BUT PF WOULDNT LET ME

EDIT2: APPARENTLY IT LETS YOU USE CAPS IN EDIT MODE

firstly, speak and type in English.

secondly , no if a car hit you at 2000mph you would just vapourise, where if a train hit you at 5mph you would suffer a nasty bruise before you quickly jumped out of the way.

it would just push you along for a bit, i doubt it would even bruise unless you got trapped between it and something else

so is the train hitting us now or are we being run over by the wheels? there is a difference and it does matter!

As you would get a slight bruise from one and the other would slice you up, now which is it?

If the train weighed 1 ton or 50,000 ton it would till have the same outcome at 5mph. the weight is not an issue.(unless you are trying to stop it.)

A silly pointless fact that i didnt need to know but cheers.
