How much would an object age if it traveled 1 year at half the speed of light?

by our standards; 1 year (the logical answer).... by the objects standards; ask a mathematician who knows the formula

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.
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.
What does a speed time graph indicate about an object's motion?
A distance time graph would show the distance traveled.
What would the first astronauts use to get up to light speed in stead of engines?
None. No astronaut or man-made object has ever gotten close to the speed of light. It is impossible for an object to actually travel at the speed of light.
What is the fastest man has been able to travel compared to the speed of light?
the fastest man has traveled would be about 8000 m/s(the speed of a space shuttle in orbit) the speed of light is roughly 300000000 m/s. which is roughly 1/37500 the speed of light or .00002666667% the speed of light
How many seconds would it take to travel to the sun if you traveled at the speed of light when the radius of the earth is 6371 km equals 3960 mi?
It would take about 496 seconds to travel to the sun at the speed of light.
What if the speed of light traveled at the speed of sound?
You cant run with that speed. There will be no problem if you can.
What information 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)
How fast could you get to the sun at light-speed?
If you traveled at the speed of light (a current impossibility), you would travel from Earth to the Sun in an average of 8 minutes. Or would you? I suspect that you would burn up well before the 8 minutes were up.
