Will it take longer for a train or a car traveling at 100 mi/hr to stop? Justify your answer.

It would take longer for the train to stop, because the mass of the train is much larger than the car. Also, the exhilaration of the train is much higher due to the bigger mass and weight.

You need to give all the information. if a car is going 100 mph and a train is going 40 mph then the car will get there first. But you need to provide all the information in order to get a valid answer
