What else can I help you with?
Which two measurements are needed to determine the speed of an object?
To determine the speed of an object, you would need to know the distance it has traveled and the time it took to cover that distance. Speed is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken to cover that distance.
Would you die if you traveled at the speed of light?
According to the theory of relativity, as an object with mass approaches the speed of light, its mass would increase infinitely and require an infinite amount of energy to continue accelerating. Therefore, it is currently believed that it is impossible for an object with mass to reach the speed of light. If it were somehow possible, the consequences are not fully understood, but it is likely that the extreme forces and energy involved would have fatal effects on a human body.
What would happen if you traveled at light speed?
According to Einsteinian physics (which is an extremely well confirmed theory) it would take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate a mass (such as a person in a spaceship) to the speed of light, and if you were to do such a thing you would necessarily collapse into a black hole - this would happen well before an infinite amount of energy was expended, but since that is the question being asked, I would say that you would wind up as an infinitely massive black hole moving at the speed of light. As such, you would be a very bizarre object indeed.When an object travels at the speed of light the following things would happen:1) Time would slow down for that object when compared to earth2) The object's length would decrease3) The object's mass would increase
How far back in time would you go if you traveled the speed of light?
To an outside observer a person traveling at the speed of light would be frozen in time. To the person traveling at the speed of light, things would seem normal.
What is speed and how do you find the speed?
Speed is the rate at which an object moves in a certain direction. To find the speed of an object, you would divide the distance traveled by the time taken to cover that distance. The formula for speed is speed = distance/time.
How much energy you would produce if you were going the speed of light?
Since no object with mass can reach the speed of light -- such an object can only approach that speed -- the question is meaningless.
What object would be necessary to determine the speed of an object?
The distance it travels and how long it took to travel that far. To calculate speed you do (total distance traveled)/(total time taken)
Why can satellites not attain the speed of light notwithstanding they are in absolute vacuum?
As the speed of an object approaches the speed of light, its kinetic energy approaches infinity. An object moving at the speed of light would require inifinite kinetic energy.
How much time would pass on Earth if I traveled at the speed of light for a year?
If you were to travel at the speed of light for a year, no time would pass for you, but approximately one year would pass on Earth.
How would you find the average speed of an object?
To find the average speed of an object, you would divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken to travel that distance. This will give you the average speed of the object over a specific period.
What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
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.
