No object that has mass when it's just sitting there on the table can move at the speed of light.
Photons have zero "rest mass".

Can any object move with the velocity comparable to the velocity of light?
Recently an experiment at the CERN has clocked a Neutrino that they believe EXCEEDED the speed of light. They are double checking the results of this experiment, and looking for explanations.
How fast an object move?
The maximum speed of any object is hardly equal to speed of light which is 3*10^8 approximately.
What describes how fast an object is moving and in what dirrection?
The maximum speed of any object is hardly equal to speed of light which is 3*10^8 approximately.
When an object move are the force acting on it?
Not necessarily. An object doesn't need a force to move, only to CHANGE its velocity. In empty space, an object can continue moving indefinitely without any force.
Which would take less force to move a heavy object or a light weight object?
When you include the effects of friction, it takes less force to move a light-weight object. If you can get the objects into a frictionless environment, then any force, no matter how small, can move any object, no matter how heavy.
What did albert einstein say about light?
Einstein said that in a vacuum light travels at a constant velocity that cannot be exceeded by any physical object.
Why do circular motion includes continuous acceleration?
Acceleration is any force that acts to change the velocity of an object. Any object in motion will continue to move in a straight line unless some outside force acts upon it to change its velocity. So, for an object to move in a circular path it must be continuously accelerated toward the center of the circle; otherwise the object would be moving in a straight line.
Is it possible that body is moving with constant velocity but force acting on it is zero?
Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.Yes, in fact, it is necessary. If any net force acts on an object, the velocity will change.
The greatest velocity that an object reaches?
It has been proven that the speed of light (about 3 x 108 meters per second) is the maximum speed any object can reach.
Can an object be accelerating if it has a constant velocity?
No. The definition of 'acceleratiion' is 'any change in velocity'.
Can an object gain the velocity of light?
The word object is a very general term. A photon is also an object, and it does travel at the speed of light. But it never travels at any other speed, so it doesn't "gain" that speed. If we were to ask about objects made of atoms, then the answer is no, they can never accelerate to the velocity of light. They can get arbitrarily close, depending upon how much energy is used to accelerate them, but they can never actually get to the full speed of light.
Can acceleration and velocity be the same?
No. Velocity is the change of location and accelarion is any change that occurs to the velocity of an object.
