heres a few for your brain to chew on

[:-][:-][:-]
1.) if your going the speed of light and you turn on your headlights on your car, will they do anything?

2.) why is ice clear and snow white?

3.) if you put a chameleon in a room foll of mirrors what clolor will it change?

4.) if a tree falls and no one is around does it make a sound?

there kinda funy and no i dont think that lights will project forware if the car is at light speed

R/C fan-addict

1. your lights won't do anything
2. no idea
3. it won't change color
4. um yeah!

for #3 it would probly try to attach the mirrior thinking it was a camelioun

hahahaha lol i might ask my teacher thoses questions today,

A.B.U

1. Uhh.. theyre infront so probably will be going faster, seeing as they ARE in front, theyll project a light.
2. Its clear because water is clear. Snow white reffers to the ice crystals forming on it.
3. Uhh.. itll stay the same?
3. Yes. Just because ya cant hear it does NOT mean it doesnt make a noise. :P

1( There will be no light projection, because if you are going at the same speed light travels it couldn't go fast enough to get in front of you.
2(same as above
3(If there is no threat to the chameleon it won't change colors. They only do it when there is a threat.
4( Whether someone is there or not it'll still make a noise. Sound Waves

whats with the owl? although i will admit thats one fricken sweet picture, it looks like its gone crazy or something.

Here comes the science...

1. It is impossible to get a car up to the speed of light, at that speed a car would weigh more than the entire universe(it would have infinite mass), and would take more energy to accelerate it there than exists in the entire universe.
If you could get a car up to 99.9999% of the speed of light, and flicked on the headlights, they would work. If you stood on the front bumper and measured the speed of the light coming from the headlights, the light would be going... the speed of light. If someone you were passing measured the speed of the light coming from the headlights, it would measure... exactly the same.

Doesn't matter how fast the light source is travelling or how fast you are travelling relative to it, light is always measured the same speed. The only thing that changes the speed it's measured at is the medium it is travelling through.

now i see the point of the owl. i know everything there is to know now.

Doahh

4) if a tree fell in the middle of a forest and it DIDN't make a sound it it would eexplode... All that energy in making a sound has to go somewhere as newton said... Every action has an equal and opposite reaction...

4) By scientific definition, there would be no sound. In order for there to be sound, there has to be a transmitter, a medium to carry the sound waves and a receiver. Since there is no receiver, there is no sound.

1. The lights will turn on, but won't shine a beam in front of the car

2. Why is water clear and the ocean blue?

3. It will remain the same color.

4. It does make sound.

I see you have to have a degree in rocket science to be a moderator lol

Doahh

heh...
Except for jakjr...

ofnaDOMINATION!

1) No, because you're going the speed of light
2) Because of the level it has frozen or condensed
3) It will probably become the same color that the mirrors are reflecting
4) YES! IT'S A FRICKIN TREE!

ofnaDOMINATION!

2) The ocean reflects the color of the sky, which is blue

Whatever. It's a tree!

Also, Owls? I don't get it.

That's a myth.
As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.
However, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue.

It's also why the sun looks yellow. In space the sun looks white, but here on earth, some of the blue light is scattered out of it, it shifts the colour towards the shorter wavelengths and appears yellow.

This is not rocket science, it is high school physics.

LOL, I wouldn't know, Im only in 4th grade. lol j/k
