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


What happens if you are driving a car at the speed of light and you cut your headlights on?

It's impossible for any object with mass to travel at the speed of light. Due to the laws of physics, the concept of mass and energy at the speed of light does not follow our everyday experience. Therefore, the scenario of turning on headlights while moving at the speed of light cannot be realistically described.


What travels faster car or light?

Light travels faster than a car. The speed of light in a vacuum is approximately 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second), while the top speeds for cars typically range from 60 to 250 miles per hour.


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 is the size of the adjustment factor is you are traveling at 93 percent of the speed of light?

It's 0.36756 (rounded). (That's sqrt[1-v2/c2].)At that speed,-- the length of your car shrinks to 36.8% of its length in the garage,-- the clock in the car runs at 36.8% of the correct speed, and-- the masses of the car and everything in it are 1/0.36756 = 2.72 timesthe masses they had before the car started moving.

Why would the head lights stay on when the car is off?

Some cars had a delayed headlight turn-off system, to keep the lights on for a minute or two after the car was turned off. This was to provide you a courtesy light as you walked up to your front door.
