It doesn't - the object will never achieve the speed of light, since an infinite mass is not possible (it would require infinite energy). This only describes a tendency: as the object gets closer and closer to the speed of light, so, too, will its mass increase more and more, approaching infinity - this means there is no upper limit to the mass as the object approaches the speed of light.
What else can I help you with?
Does matter turn into light when achieving the speed of light?
No, matter does not turn into light when achieving the speed of light. As an object with mass accelerates towards the speed of light, its energy increases, but it does not transform into light. It would require an infinite amount of energy to accelerate an object with mass to 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.
Do neutrinos travel at the speed of light?
No, neutrinos have been shown to have a small non-zero mass. They can't get to c (the speed of light in a vacuum). The only thing a supernova can eject at the speed of light is photons. Update: Recently an experiment has measured neutrinos traveling above the speed of light. An explanation is yet to be offered.
If you travel at the speed of light in a car and turn your headlights 'ON' What will Happen?
To travel at the speed of light you would have to BE light so i guess you would became an even brighter light The switch to turn on the lights will work but no light will come on as you are already at that speed
Can it be said that matter turns into pure energy at the speed of light squared?
Einstein's famous equation, E=mc2, basically means that energy and mass are interchangeable - that under the right conditions, mass can turn into pure energy, and energy can turn into mass. So, in essence, it can be said that matter can turn into pure energy if it is travelling at the speed of light.

Is it true albert invent speed of light?
No, the speed of light was not invented - it's a natural phenomenon. Albert Einstein discovered the equation E=mc2. This tells us that if an object was to randomly turn into energy, the amount of energy would be equal to the objects mass multiplied by the speed of light twice.
Would solid matter have to be turned in to light to reach the speed of light?
Matter has mass. Nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light; only massless particles, electromagnetic waves, and gravity waves can. It is possible to turn matter into energy and emit it in the form of electromagnetic radiation such as light. This process occurs during nuclear reactions and when matter and antimatter annihilate one another.
What is the speed of a flashlight when it turn's on?
The speed of light from a flashlight is the speed of light, which is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum. When you turn on a flashlight, the light it emits will travel at this constant speed until it interacts with another medium.
How do you turn the check engine light off 1997 infinity I 30?
Have vehicle scanned to determine problem
How do you find the speed of light?
Turn your light off then on, how long time does it takes. There you got the speed of light !!!! 300,000 km a sec is fast.
Are there different dimensions in space and can you travel at the speed of light?
Yes, it is theorized that there are higher dimensions then the four we are familiar with. No, you cannot travel at the speed of light, no physical object that has mass can. However, that being said, you can, theoretically travel infinitely close to the speed of light which would, in turn, require an infinite amount of energy.
The more ------ an object has the harder it is to slow it down speed it up or turn it?
mass
