According to Einstein's E equals mc squared... theoretically... what would happen to an object if it's velocity excelled the speed of light?

According to special relativity, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. The formula E = mc2 does not directly show that a body cannot travel faster than the speed of light, but if it did travel that fast, its energy would be so high that its mass would also have to be very, very large.

Why no physical body can reach velocity of light?
according to Einsteins special relativity
Can you travel to Halley's Comet?
Theoretically absoluteley yes. It is an object with a known position velocity and direction so why not?
What will the result be when this happens Velocity of a wave increases and the wavelength stays the same?
This is not true practically. Theoretically speaking as velocity increases with wavelength remains constant, then frequency has to increase accordingly. Since the formula for velocity is given as: velocity of the wave v = frequency (nu) * wavelength (lamda). In reality the characteristic, namely, frequency remains constant when the speed of the wave changes as it traverses in different medium.

Can You calculate the velocity of a fart?
Generally wind speed is measured using a cup anemometer (wind speed measuring device). The velocity of a flatulation will decrease as it leaves the anus, so to properly measure the velocity the measurement would have to be done before the exit. Theoretically you could measure the velocity of the gases by placing a miniature cup anemometer with walls inside the rectal tract close to the anus to give an approximate wind speed (velocity) of the gases.
What is the highest velocity ever reached by a falling object?
depends on the properties of the surrounding and also on the geometrical characteristics of the object theoretically with no surrounding media infinite velocity can be achieved. keep in mind that falling is generally associated with presence of gravitational field ,so height of fall has to be considered as within range of dominant gravitational field.
Is velocity of light constant?
Yes according to most theories the velocity of light in a vacuum is constant. (In water and glass it is slower!)
What is the speed of a free falling object ten seconds after its release?
At gravity's rate of 9.8m/s , after ten seconds it would be 98 m/s theoretically, although also a variable is terminal velocity.
Does m0 depend on velocity?
Yes,m0 deoends on velocity. according to relativity m0=m/whole root under c^2-v^2
Can you theoretically go faster than light?
No, you can't go faster than the speed of light. This is because you would need an infinite amount of force to accelerate an object to a velocity faster than the speed of light.
A car traveling at a velocity of 40 mph crashed into a brick wall What is the velocity of the driver the moment after impact if the driver was wearing his seatbelt?
That is hard to calculate, but if he has reached a point where the seat belt is restraining him, then he is experiencing very rapid deceleration to the final velocity of the vehicle which is theoretically zero. If the seat belt has not yet begun to restrain the driver, then he is still travelling 40 miles per hour in relation to the outside world, such as the wall.
What is the physical meaning of a negative average velocity?
It means that an object with a negative average velocity is moving in the opposite direction (of course according to the chosen positive direction of the predefined frame).
