How fast can the millennium falcon go in Star Wars?
The Millennium Falcon can go .5 faster than light speed, which is 390,365,697,829 metres per second
How fast is warp factor 1?
Warp speed is faster than the speed of Light. Warp 1 is the speed of light and warp 2 is 10X the warp 3 is 27X and it increases by a power of 3 for every level. At warp 5 for example you could make to the closest star Proxima Centauri 4.22 lights years away. It would take hours instead of years to get there, but the power needed to generate that kind of speed would be enormous. Warp is so fast that objects come to you through a distress in space. For generating this we would have to concentrate energy so vast to distort space time. Also known as wormhole movement explained by Einstein's law of relativity.
Light from a star travels from earth in a straight line at a constant speed of 300000 kilometers per second What is the acceleration of the light?
The speed of light is a constant, so the acceleration is zero. However, light IS affected by gravity, and gravity causes an acceleration. How does this balance? The light moves at the same speed - the speed of light, abbreviated "c" - but loses or gains energy as the light moves toward or away from the gravity source. In gaining energy (without speeding up!) the frequency of the light is increased and the wavelength of the light (or any electromagnetic energy) is decreased, In losing energy, the wavelength is increased and the wavelength decreased. This could be a trick question, of course. Light from a star wouldn't be travelling from earth, unless we are talking about reflected light, which would not be particularly intense, but it is not out of the question.
If a neutron star has a radius of 10 km and rotates 642 times a second what is the speed of the surface at the neutron star's equator in terms of the speed of light?
The Radius of the Star is 10 KM. Now we need to find the diameter. Circumference equals pi times the Diameter. That is twice the Radius, which is 20. Now we need to get the Diameter. We multiply the diameter by pi. 20 times 3.1416. 20 * 3.1416 = 62.838. Now we multiply the circumference in kilometers by the speed. 62.832 * 642 = 40,338. Now we take the speed of light, 299,997 per second and divide it into the speed of a point on the equator of our star going 40,338 kilometers per second. 40338 / 299997 = 0.1345
Why couldn't the millennium falcon jump to hyperspace in star wars?
If you mean why it couldn't go into light speed in "The Empire Strikes Back," it's because of engine trouble
Is warp speed Faster-than-light?
In the language of Star Trek it is, like the word mach implies a speed faster than sound. Don't know if warp is used to describe faster than light speeds in real life.
What is a hypothetical particle that travels faster than the speed of light?
None. According to Einstein's Theory - NOTHING can travel as fast as - or faster than the speed of light. so - technically - it is true - when you look see a star in the sky - that is 1 light year away - you are actually seeing what it looked like 1 year ago - when the light left the star!!!!!
Is a shooting star faster than the speed of light?
No. Bullets travel from a few hundred feet per second up to several thousand feet per second, and lightening is much faster than that. According to various sources, lightening travels at either the speed of light, or about half of that, or about a third of that.
How fast can the millennium falcon go in Star Wars?
The Millennium Falcon can go .5 faster than light speed, which is 390,365,697,829 metres per second
How can the light from a distant star be old It would imply the star moved away faster than the speed of light?
Since stars are so far away, it takes a very long time for their light to reach us. The closest star to our sun is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.218 light-years away. This means that it would take 4.218 years for light (travelling at a speed of 300,000 km/s) to reach us from this star. As a result of this time delay (4.218 years), we are not seeing this star as it is right now - we are seeing it as it was, 4.218 years ago.The Andromeda Galaxy, for example, is significantly further away: it's approximately 2.5 million light-years from us. Since it has taken about 2.5 million years for the light from this galaxy to reach us, it is 2.5 millions years older than it currently appears to be.Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. Even if it were possible for a distant star to travel this speed away from us, or even faster than this, it would mean that the light from this star would never be able to reach us.The most distant stars (in other galaxies) may appear to be moving close to - or faster than - the speed of light. This is due to the expansion of the fabric of the universe.
What should it look like inside an alcubierre warp bubble?
A football-shaped star-ship for effective speed faster than light.
How many years would it take to reach the fartherest star traveling in light years?
I'm afraid you would never reach it. The furthest star, and thus the furthest galaxies are receding faster than the speed of light.
Is there any way to reverse time?
no Theoretically, if you could travel faster than the speed of light, you could go back in time. When you look through a telescope at a distant star, you are looking back in time because the light from the star, that you are seeing now, may have taken hundreds of years to travel from the star to your eye. If you can travel faster than light, you could travel to the star and arrive before the light you're seeing now left the star in the first place. Therefore you travelled to a time previous to when the light left.
Which shoots out of a gun faster a bullet or a laser?
Since Laser is light and light is faster than anything we know of on earth the laser is faster, especially if it is a constant beam. Bullets can travel faster than sound, but still nowhere near the speed of light. Besides, despite what you see in Star Wars, there are not laser guns, only lasers.
How fast would you have to travel in order to reach a star that is 50 light years away from Earth when you are 40 years older than you were when you left earth?
You would have to be travelling faster than the speed of light in order to do this. And, theoretically speaking, this would be impossible to do.However, if you were possible to travel faster than the speed of light, you would need to be travelling 1.25x the speed of light (which is about 3.75 x 108 m/s2).
What is the equation for the travel time to the nearest star at the speed of light?
For example, if a star is at a distance of 5 light-years, it will take 5 years to travel there at the speed of light.
When light from a star fades is it still traveling at light speed?
Yes.
