Best Answer

A car is much, much lighter than a train, and requires less force both to go into motion and to come to a stop. Even though a train has many more sets of brakes and a much more powerful motor, the ratio of engine power to weight and braking power to weight is much greater in a car, allowing the car to go into motion and come to a stop with much less effort than what is required to do the same with a train.

Why are dogs easier to train using the German language?

Dogs are not necessarily easier to train using the German language. It may seem that way in certain contexts because commands in German often have harsh or distinct sounds that dogs can more easily differentiate and respond to. The key to successful dog training lies in consistency, positive reinforcement, and building a strong communication bond with your pet, regardless of the language used.
