Two trains are traveling down a track. Train A has more mass than Train B. What will happen when the two trains attempt to stop with the same force at the Train Station?

Train B will stop faster at a train station than train A when the same force is applied.

According to Newton's first law of motion commonly called the law of inertia, an object will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion unless the body is acted upon by an external, unbalanced force. The reluctance of a body to move or stop moving is proportional to its mass.

As such, a large object has a greater inertia. This means that a larger object finds it more difficult to start moving or stop moving compared to a lighter body.

Hence, Since train A has more mass than train B, train B will stop faster at a train station than train A when the same force is applied.

It will take train B a longer time to come to come to rest at the target train station

Explanation:

We know that train B has a higher mass compared to train A.

The same force is applied by the brake of the train to bring them to rest.

                 Force   =  mass x  acceleration

Now, the more the mass of a body, the higher the force applied to cause it to accelerate. To bring such a body to rest, a higher force must also be applied to it
