It takes an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object with mass to the speed of light. It is therefore impossible.

How many g's is the speed of light?

speed of light is constant velocity and does not accelerate so there is no g force


Will the mass change at a very high speed compared the speed of light?

Yes. According to the extended theory of relativity, mass will increase as an objects speed increases. The closer the object's speed gets to the speed of light, the greater its mass will be and a greater force will be required to continue to accelerate it.


Would an object shrink when traveling at the speed of light?

The object would probably disintegrate completely. The speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second, that's fast enough to circle the globe at least 6 times. The force against the wind would have to be at least 500,000 pounds of pressure, and that's an underestimation. The object would most likely catch fire, as well.


Is it light speed or the speed of light?

speed of light I think well it sounds right:)


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.

What speed does an electrical force move?

Same as light.


What is the speed of gravitional force?

It's never been measured, but it is assumed to be the same as the speed of light.


How many g's is the speed of light?

speed of light is constant velocity and does not accelerate so there is no g force


How much faster is the speed of light than the speed of electricity without using superconducting materials eg in normal computers?

We generally consider that the force of an electric field moves at the speed of light. And electricity moves at the speed of light.


How would the speed of an object be affected if it were in a vacuum?

Assuming you keep applying a constant force, it will accelerate indefinitely up to the speed of light


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.


Who made up the Speed of light?

Nobody made it up, the speed of light is an inherent property of spacetime and the electromagnetic force. It was first observed and measured during observations of the orbits of the moons of Jupiter.

Yes. According to the extended theory of relativity, mass will increase as an objects speed increases. The closer the object's speed gets to the speed of light, the greater its mass will be and a greater force will be required to continue to accelerate it.


What is the reason to use speed of light in the theory of relativity?

The theory of relativity uses light speed as the theoretical maximum speed of all things in the universe. A question posed Einstein himself is as follows: "If I were on a train travelling at light speed and I walked from the rear to the front, would I not have exceeded light speed?" Einstein: "No, the force you placed on the train in order to move foreward would have slowed the train a small amount, meaning that you would not exceed light speed"

Why Speed Of Light is not affected by Earth's Magnetic Field although Light is considered to be an Electromagnetic wave?

As light can also travel in vacuum so no extra force can change its direction.


Is it the speed of light or light speed?

Is what the speed of light or light speed.ANSWER300,000 km/s
