An object with non-zero mass (even negligible mass is non-zero) will never reach the speed of light. Due to relativistic effects, each "unit" of acceleration becomes less effective at increasing your velocity (relative to some other object, of course) as your relative velocity approaches the speed of light.

And even if there was a way, If you would accelerate to the 99,99% of the speed light in just 1 second, you would experience a G-force of aprox. 30,600,000 g's which is enough to kill you in a few seconds

To be considered a source of water pollution, the source must include a chemical
forsale [732]

To be considered a source of water pollution, the source must include a chemical is false.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The water pollution may be caused either by chemicals or waste materials that doesn’t contain chemicals such as domestic wastes, organic compounds, heavy metals etc. The life on Earth mostly relies on water and air, and if these two gets polluted; the results will be dangerous.

Around 70% of the planet is covered with water and the present state of its purity is a matter of a serious thought. Looking over various pollutants, only chemical wastes are not responsible to pollute the water.

Instead, there is range of elements from plastic scraps to chemical wastes that comes from either the non-point sources or the point sources. There are organic waste materials, heavy metals, volcanic eruptions, Tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. are also responsible to contaminate water and affect the amphibians as well as humans.

Compare and contrast fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs.
dezoksy [38]

Incandescent light is a glowing white light produced by heat. An incandescent light bulb works by heating a filament in the bulb. Fluorescent light is a bright light produced by electricity flowing through a tube filled with ionized gas. Fluorescent light bulbs are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs

When does the most significant drop in physical activity typically occur in people's lives?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

Later high school years and freshman year of college

Explanation:

The transition from high school to college is an important developmental milestone that holds the potential for personal growth and behavioral change.  A cohort of 2,025 students was recruited during the summer before they matriculated into college and completed Internet-based surveys about their participation in a variety of behavioral risks during the last three months of high school and throughout the first year of college. Alcohol use, marijuana use, and sex with multiple partners increased during the transition from high school to college, whereas driving after drinking, aggression, and property crimes decreased. Those from rural high schools and those who elected to live in private dormitories in college were at highest risk for heavy drinking and driving after drinking.

Which best explains how the diffraction pattern observed in young’s experiment supports the wave theory of light?.
KIM [24]

Answer: the airy pattern can only arise from wave propagation

Explanation:if particles went in straight lines through a slit, they would progate linearly and not interfere. The airy pattern arises from diffraction as waves interfere, producing peaks (constructive interference where peaks of waves from each slit coincide) and troughs (destructive interference where peaks and troughs of waves from each slit cancel out). If intensity rather than field is measured nodes occur where 0 values line up instead of troughs
