They are both going 200mph, but the trainhas no frictionsince it's a magnetic relationship with the metal trail and is basically hovering. The car has to deal with friction all the time because there is always a tug with the tire and concrete.

So obviously I believe the magnetic train will travel faster than the car. What do you think?

The train, for the same reason as 10kg of cotton weighing more than 10kg of metal

idk men, now they do fast and aerodynamic cars. Pretty sure a 200 mph per hour can beat a 200 mph magnetic train. Not sure too.

If they are both going 200/mph they are both doing the same speed and one is not faster than the other? Is this over my head?

also depends on what kind of car; maybe electric car would go faster at 200, then a petrol fueled car going at 200.

its the same speed lmao

neither is faster than the other

when you have the velocities of the 2 objects it doesn't matter what the friction is when looking only at speed

I think it'll be the car, since it uses premium fuel

If you sniff a panty in the woods and there is not a person. Did you snif the panty or did you not?

If yes, than the train is much faster

Car. A train going at 200 mph, that uses magnetic force to propel itself, will eventual enter intoba wormhole. Magnets distort spacetime suff and will transfer it to another time period. If the train is going toward, it'll go backwards in time.

the guy in the train walking to the bathroom is actually doing 204 mph, so train.

Neither is faster as you stated they are both travelling at 200 mph. Its like "what is heavier? A pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?"

It's different because FRICTION. They both go 200 mph, but one is resisting friction and the other isn't. It's different mate.

No because the speed was explicitly stated so it is assumed that all the variables are accounted for. When the person presenting to question says the train/car is going at 200 mph then they are travelling at just that. If the question was phrased as the train and car both say they are travelling at 200 mph on their s****meters. Which is faster based on friction, wind resistance, etc.

Yes but after a while, the train's speed will drop due to friction.

Obviously the train because the car will be eventually stopped by the police for speeding. Only exception to this is if the race was in Germany down the Autobahn but I'm not sure if there are train tracks there...so I guess the train wins anyway.

the car, cause trains are longer so the car easily wins, only a potato would get that wrong

another thing that we need to take into consideration is if the train is full or empty ? if its full it would be even slower than the car
