Gravity is a state of space-time, however gravitational waves, predicted by Enstein general relativity yet not directly proven, travels with the speed of light, the highest possible speed, because simply gravitational waves take the form of energy radiation. when a body , with huge mass, moves with acceleration it emits gravitational waves. the only available proof of its existence is the binary star system when one of the star is a pulsar ,white dwarf or a netron star, since these stars has a very high mass , they rotate with the other star with an orbital motion, accelerated motion, and the =effect of the gravitational waves is conceivable since there is another near star to it. the garvitational waves/ radiation can be detected; since it results in a loss of energy the distance between the two stars decreases.
What else can I help you with?
Is the speed of travel of electricity in a conductor less than or equal to the speed of light?
Nothing is faster than the speed of light.
What is the mass and speed of beta radiation?
Mass= mass of electron Speed= Almost equal to that of light
What is the rate of acceleration due to the force of gravity?
The specific gravity for water is 1. However, when the temperature of water increases, the gravity gradually lowers. At 0°C (32°F), gravity is 1. At 100°C (212°F), the specific gravity of water is 0.958. At 300°C (approx. 580°F), it is 0.7.
Does the speed of gravity slow down through a solid medium as light does?
The pull of Gravity is instant - just there , no medium can influence it - to destroy it you have to distribute the mass , it takes time to get the masses together and takes time to take them away ! Gravity is not dependant on time ! Do some calcs yourselves on the supposed max. light speed of gravity and the effects on the alignment of the barycentres of binary masses (stars) !
What is the formula relating speed of light frequency and wavelength?
the speed of light equals the frequency multiplied by the wavelength.
Is the speed of gravity faster than light?
No, the speed of gravity is the same as the speed of light, according to the theory of general relativity.
Does gravity affect the speed of light?
Gravity affects the fabric of space-time. So both space and time will be distorted.
What effects the speed of a object?
Speed is relative to the speed of light and gravity. So gravity could effect speed.
What is the speed of light in zero gravity?
Gravity does not effect speed of light ,so velocity is constant. Even if it effect the effect is negligible. So in short answer is 3*108ms-1 -Thunder
Does gravity move at the speed of light?
Yes, gravity moves at the speed of light according to the theory of general relativity proposed by Albert Einstein.
What are the characteristic of light at zero gravity?
When there's no gravity, light just travels in one direction at the speed of light. Gravity bends the direction at which light travels.
Does gravity travel at speed of light?
Gravity wave do, so yes.
Can speed of light be slowed by gravity or friction?
No.
What is the speed of gravity?
C To expound, gravity and light travel at the same speed. * It is a fundamental fact of nature that nothing can travel faster than light, but matter slows light while gravity is not slowed or screened by anything. So light and gravity only travel at the same speed in the vacuum of space away from any mass.
What is the Speed of gravity in ms?
The speed of gravity is considered to be the same as the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second or 186,282 miles per second. This means that the gravitational force between objects is transmitted at the speed of light.
How fast is the speed of gravity in mph?
According to Einstein's theory of relativity the speed of gravity is equal to the speed of light; i.e. about 671 million miles per hour. Note that this is still true in models for quantum gravity; there gravity is mediated by a massless particle and all massless particles have to travel at the speed of light.
Is gravity faster than light?
No, gravity is not faster than light. According to the theory of relativity, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
