What else can I help you with?
Do you have to add the speed of an object to the speed of light?
No, because according to Einstein, there is nothing that can travel faster than the speed of light. For example, if there is a headlight on the front of a train that is travelling 60 km/h, the light coming from the front of the train is still only going at the speed of light despite the speed of the train.
What would happen if a train were traveling at the speed of light and on top of it was a moving car?
According to Stephen Hawkings (you can watch his study on time travel to answer this question) the speed of light is like the "speed limit" for the universe. Nothing exceeds the speed of light. So if you have a train that's travelling at the speed of light (which is impossible, it can travel close but not exactly at the speed of light), and a car is moving on top of it, isn't that technically breaking the "speed limit" or exceeding the speed of light? That's not possible, instead physics would "autocorrect" that and instead of having the car move fast enough to break the "speed limit", time would be slowed down, meaning the car would be slowed down, just enough so that it doesn't break the speed limit. Simply it means, if you were inside that car, time would be passing really slowly. While a week passes for the person in the car, one hundred years would pass in regular time.
What happens hen you heat a particle up so fast it travels at the speed of light?
It is not possible for a particle with mass to reach the speed of light, as it would require infinite energy. Additionally, at speeds approaching the speed of light, relativistic effects become significant, causing time dilation and length contraction.
Would Light protons stop you if you were going at the speed of light?
No - you would be stopped BEFORE you reach the speed of light, by your increasing mass (among other things). As your speed approaches the speed of light, your mass would approach infinity, and it would require an infinite energy to actually achieve the speed of light.Note that the "speed of light" is not really about light. It is a speed limit of our Universe; some have described it as the "speed of causality".
If a spaceship 100 m long when at rest on the earth were to travel at nine-tenths the speed of light its length as measured by an observer on the earth would be what?
First of all, its nose has to point in the direction of motion, or you don't get theanswer you're fishing for. The contraction only occurs in the direction of motion.If the length of the ship is 100 meters in the reference frame in which it's at rest,and it then departs at 90% of the speed of light, the same observer in the samereference frame now sees it contract to a length of 43.59 meters.
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"
What would an observer on the ground obtain for speed of a ball on a train?
Just add or subtract (depending on the direction) the speed of the ball (in relation to the train) to the speed of the train (in relation to the ground). The above assumes the speeds are not close to the speed of light; if they are, more complicated formulae are required.
Who invented the steam train the rocket?
Antony invented the steam rocket train but it was actually a light speed train that would time travle into the future at the speed of light it was also $1.000.000.000.000.99 bilion dolars Canadian to ride
How fast can a man on a train run?
the answer is relative.. if you are standing on the same train, for you the man will be running as fast as it would do on the ground. If you are standing on the ground, then his speed relative to you will be the composition of the train speed + his speed. to make it more interesting.. think now that the train it's running with a speed that approach the speed of light relative to you.
Do you have to add the speed of an object to the speed of light?
No, because according to Einstein, there is nothing that can travel faster than the speed of light.

If you are travelling at the speed of light in a car what happens if you turn the lights on?
nothing the car would have lost all the matter as it reach light speed and even if that happened the law of matter will be traveling the same speed as you are and the speed you send it (Ex: standing on a train and throwing a ball. the ball will go faster than the train intill friction takes place) does not apply to light, your lights would be on but you would not see them
What would you see if you were on a train travelling at 2 3rds the speed of light and looked out the window whilst a train travelling at the same speed was going in the opposite direction?
You would see the other traing going by you at nearly the speed of light. This may seem counter-intuitive, but that's what happens. The speed of light is an immutable constant that does not care about your frame of reference. In the braydeon domain, nothing moves faster than the speed of light, regardless of frame of reference.

How long it takes to travel 600 light years?
It really depends on your speed. If you were traveling at the speed of light, it would take 600 years. 600 light years equals 3,527,175,223,910,165 miles. So divide that by the speed you would be traveling to get the length of time it would take you.
Would someone walking toward the back the train have greater or lesser speed relative to yo?
Someone walking toward the back of the train would have a greater speed relative to you if you are stationary inside the train. This is because their speed would be the combination of their walking speed and the speed of the train moving forward.
Which metric measurements would you use to calculate a train's speed?
A train travels fairly large distances so kilometres would be an appropriate unit for length. Hours would be the best unit for time, so speed would be in kilometres per hour. We don't really metricate time in most applications.
