The speed of light is, theoretically, the maximum speed achievable by any particle or the maximum speed which information may be transfered. There are things that we know of that travel faster but are incapable of carrying information. An example is wave guides. There is a book the title of which is "Things that Travel Faster than Light" which explains this more fully However, since light travels at different speeds in different media, it is possible for something to travel faster than the speed of light in, say, water. This produces Cherenkov radiation ... the blue glow you may have seen in pictures of nuclear reactor cores.
What else can I help you with?
How do you calculate what has more kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy of an object is calculated using the equation KE = 0.5 * m * v^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity. To determine which object has more kinetic energy, compare the values of mass and velocity for each object. The object with the higher mass or velocity will have more kinetic energy.
What is the function of the mass and velocity of moving object?
Momentum
Is it better if the object is light or heavier on a catapult?
It is better if the object is lighter on a catapult because it will be easier to launch with more speed and distance. A heavier object may not travel as far or have the same velocity upon launch.
What is the term for the point at which an object will not accelerate any more?
The term for the point at which an object will not accelerate any more is called terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the forces of air resistance and gravity are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.
Does high velocity affect rate of change of velocity?
Yes, high velocity can affect the rate of change of velocity. If an object is already moving at a high velocity, it may require more time or force to change its velocity compared to an object moving at a lower velocity due to inertia.
Can an object have velocity more than light?
no
Which is correct speed of light or velocity of light?
"Speed of light" is the correct term. Velocity refers to the speed of an object in a specific direction, while speed is the rate at which an object moves regardless of direction. The speed of light is approximately 299,792 kilometers per second in a vacuum.
When an object is accelerating if its?
An object accelerates if its velocity changes. More precisely, "acceleration" is the rate of change of velocity (how quickly velocity changes), or in symbols, dv/dt.
How do you calculate what has more kinetic energy?
The kinetic energy of an object is calculated using the equation KE = 0.5 * m * v^2, where m is the mass of the object and v is its velocity. To determine which object has more kinetic energy, compare the values of mass and velocity for each object. The object with the higher mass or velocity will have more kinetic energy.

Yes, high velocity can affect the rate of change of velocity. If an object is already moving at a high velocity, it may require more time or force to change its velocity compared to an object moving at a lower velocity due to inertia.
What do you have to change for an object to have more kinetic energy?
Increase its velocity
Does a heavier object always have more inertia than a lighter object?
Inertia is "rotary momentum"; an object's ability to continue spinning when a decelerating force is applied.Just as a heavy object takes more effort to stop from the same speed as a light object, so does a heavy object take more effort to stop from turning at the same speed as a light object.So assuming they are turning at the same angular velocity, the heavier one has a larger inertia. Otherwise, remember that inertia is also proportional to angular velocity.
How does mass and velocity affect distance an object will travel?
The distance an object will travel is influenced by both its mass and velocity. A higher mass requires more force to move the object, which may affect how far it can travel. Additionally, the velocity of an object determines how fast it covers a distance, with higher velocities leading to the object covering more distance in a shorter amount of time.
What does inertia mean in science term?
state of an object mass times velocity.
