This is not a large frictional force for such a massive system. Rolling friction for trains is small, and consequently trains are very energy-efficient transportation systems.

Whether or not this public experiment ever took place, Galileo was able to demonstrate that, contrary to Aristotle’s teaching, all bodies fall at the same rate regardless of mass, assuming that one is not so tenuous that it is slowed by air resistance. In this experiment, an equation is presented relating the acceleration of gravity at Earth’s surface, g, to the height that an object falls from, h, and the time it takes the object to reach the ground, t. Gravity acceleration at Earth’s surface has been measured many times. In British Imperial Units, Small Metric Units, and Large Metric Units, the standard values of g are: g = 32 feet per second-squared (ft/s2) g = 980 centimeters per second-squared (cm/s2) g = 9.8 meters per second-squared (m/s2).
