Energy (in Joules) equals the mass (in Kgs) multiplied by the square of speed of light (in meters per second)

What is the mass of the body which travels in the speed of light?

The only thing that travels at the speed of light, is light. Light is also said to have no mass, therefore the only way for something to travel at the speed of light is for it to have no mass.


What should be the mass of anything at the speed of light?

Anything that has any mass when it's at rest would have infinite mass at the speed of light.


If a mass travels at the speed of light does that mass turn into light energy?

No, a mass cannot travel at the speed of light according to Einstein's theory of relativity, as its mass would become infinite which is not physically possible. Photons are particles of light that always travel at the speed of light and have zero rest mass.


Does mass travel at the speed of light or does it vibrate at the speed of light?

Neither, mass can never reach the speed of light, this question also contridicts the theory of realativity.


Does light create its own mass?

Light does not have mass. Remember, as an object's speed approaches the speed of light, its mass approaches infinity, therefore it will require infinite energy to accelerate something to the speed of light, therefore only massless particles can travel at light speed.


What is the mass and speed of beta radiation?

Mass= mass of electron Speed= Almost equal to that of light


Can a person travel at a speed of light?

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


How do you get the value of the mass and speed of light?

The speed of light is roughly 300,000 kilometers per second. You'll have to get your own mass.


Is it possible to breach the speed of light?

As far as is known nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light. There are 'things' that exceed light speed, such as wave guides, but mass or information cannot do so.


Why is light able to travel at the speed of light?

Because light has no mass.


What happens to the mass of a particle as the particle approacches the speed of light?

When any object with mass moves, no matter at what speed, its mass increases. The faster it moves, the faster its mass increases. And the closer to the speed of light it moves, the closer to infinity its mass grows.


Why photon has rest mass zero?

That's related to the fact that it moves at the speed of light. If you look at the formula for mass increase as a function of speed, it should be obvious that the mass of anything that has a non-zero (i.e., positive) rest mass would approach infinity as the object approaches the speed of light - meaning that the speed of light itself can never be reached, since that would give the object an infinite mass (and require an infinite energy). The only way an object can move at the speed of light is for it to have a rest mass zero. In a way, this is hypothetical, since particles such as the photon or graviton, that move at the speed of light, can only move at the speed of light.
