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

It would take 353,7 days of constant 1G (9,81 m/s^2) acceleration to reach the speed of light.

How fast is 1G in space?

9.8 m/s2
The scene includes a shot of the spaceship control panel. This display shows the time, speed, acceleration, and percent fuel remaining. The acceleration is measured in “g’s” where 1 g = 9.8 m/s2.

Can humans travel at 1G?

In Newtonian mechanics v = at, so it’d take a little less than a year to reach c at 1 g acceleration. But relativity won’t allow that, we can only get close to c. After 1 year at 1 g we will have traveled . 5 lightyears and our velocity will be close to maxed out.

Can they create gravity in space?

Dave: In space, it is possible to create “artificial gravity” by spinning your spacecraft or space station. Technically, rotation produces the same effect as gravity because it produces a force (called the centrifugal force) just like gravity produces a force.

How long would it take to travel one light-year?

Even if we hopped aboard the space shuttle discovery, which can travel 5 miles a second, it would take us about 37,200 years to go one light-year. Walking?

How far away is a star from Earth?

SOLVED: (II) A star is 21.6 light-years from Earth… (II) A fictional news report stated that starship… Already have an account? Log in (II) A star is 21.6 light-years from Earth. How long would it take a spacecraft traveling 0.950c to reach that star as measured by observers: ( a) on Earth, ( b) on the spacecraft?

How long would it take to travel to the Sun?

But if it could attain the record-breaking speed of Helios 2 ‘s close approach of the Sun – a constant speed of 240,000 km/hr – it would take 19,000 years (or over 600 generations) to travel 4.243 light years. Significantly better, but still not in the ream of practicality.

How long does it take light to travel from one galaxy to another?

In other words, it takes light 2.5 million years just to travel from our galaxy to the one that is right next to us. Remember that the next time that you see a Hubble image that shows a host of galaxies dancing across the cosmos—what you are looking at is amazingly far away.
