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 is it easier to stop a car than a train?

It is easier to stop a car than a train because cars have smaller mass and less momentum than trains.

Additionally, trains travel on tracks, which limits their ability to maneuver or stop suddenly.
