How long would it take a rocket to accelerate to the speed of light?

It would take 353,7 days of constant 1G (9,81 m/s^2) acceleration to reach the speed of light. In that time you would travel 4,58 billion Km.

How long would it take to accelerate to the speed of light without dying?

You can simply divide the speed of light by your acceleration, (300,000,000 m/s) / (1000m/s2), and one gets 300,000 seconds, and one gets about 83 hours of acceleration to reach the speed of light (or thereabouts).

How long would it take to reach the speed of light at 1 g?

From Earth’s frame of reference, if you’re accelerating at a constant rate of 1 g, then you’d reach near the speed of light in about a year, having covered about 0.5 light-years in distance.

Can a rocket reach the speed of light?

So will it ever be possible for us to travel at light speed? Based on our current understanding of physics and the limits of the natural world, the answer, sadly, is no. So, light-speed travel and faster-than-light travel are physical impossibilities, especially for anything with mass, such as spacecraft and humans.

How fast can a human travel?

How long does it take to reach 10\% the speed of light?

The speed of light in miles per hour = 6.706 x 10^8 mph = 67,060,000,000 mph or around 67 million miles per hour. From these numbers, I calculated almost 10 years to reach 10\% the speed of light. You say “the velocity V will be 21.8 mph. After 2 seconds, V= 21.8 x 2 = 43.6 mph and so on.” but is the third value additive or exponential?

Does velocity slow down time in space?

Einstein in his theory of relativity said a clock will slow down in a stronger gravity field . So velocity it self will not slow time.for example voyager 2 is traveling at 44000 miles an hour and it’s clock is 35seconds faster than the one a nasa .

Why can’t a large object reach the speed of light?

Larger masses are larger amounts of bound energy, and can NEVER reach the speed of light, at any acceleration.

What is the speed of light in meters per second?

Its value is exactly 299,792,458 meters per second (approximately 186,280 miles per second). According to special relativity, c is the maximum speed that any object or information in the universe can travel. Going the speed of light is highly improbable and comes with major consequences, so this is all theoretical.
