How can you calculate speed of radar?

Radar emissions are electromagnetic radiation that travel at the speed of light.


What is useful to calculate an object's average speed when it does not travel?

If it "does not travel", the speed is zero. Not much to calculate there.


Is it possibie to travel at the speed of light?

Nothing with a rest mass can travel at exactly the speed of light, it would take an infinite amount of energy. Light can travel at that speed because it has zero rest mass. Earlier Answer below So far, we don't know if a human can travel at lightspeed. However, it's easier to travel at the speed of light than to travel through time. New Answer: The problem I always had with the term light speed is that speed is relative. We may be traveling close to the speed of light right now in relation to some other object in the universe.


What do you need to travel at the speed of light?

There is no way to travel at the speed of light.


Is it possible to travel at the speed of light in water?

The speed of light in water is less than the speed of light in space. Only light can travel at the speed of light.


Can a person travel at a speed of light?

No. Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light.


Are there different dimensions in space and can you travel at the speed of light?

Yes, it is theorized that there are higher dimensions then the four we are familiar with. No, you cannot travel at the speed of light, no physical object that has mass can. However, that being said, you can, theoretically travel infinitely close to the speed of light which would, in turn, require an infinite amount of energy.

How do you travel in the speed of light?

You don't. The only objects that can travel at the speed of light are those that ONLY travel at that speed, like photons or gravitons.


How can a small particle say a neutrino travel ALMOST at the speed of light when it would take an infinite amount of energy to travel at the speed of light?

Firstly, it takes an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object with 'mass' to the speed of light. A massless particle removes that energy problem. Secondly, approaching the speed of light is not actually much of an issue for even a particle with mass. The Large Hadron Collider accelerates particles to just 3m/s below the speed of light, 'almost the speed of light' by any definition. While it takes an immense amount of energy, it can still be done.


What can travel at speed of light?

Any massless "thing" like a photon and MAYBE a neutrino. NOTHING with mass can travel at the speed of light. Photons travel at the speed of light. The entire electromagnetic spectrum travels at the speed of light.


What travels at light speed besides engines?

Engines cannot travel at light speed. The only thing that can travel at this speed is the Photon, the particle of light.
