Steven,
The hypothetical ship is undergoing an acceleration of 10 "G's".
This is determined by an accelerometer on board that is quite
accurate. If this level of acceleration is applied for the 1 year
period, then I can calculate that my resulting velocity would be
approximately 10 times c greater than the initial velocity of the ship.
As a ship approaches the speed of light, its mass increases such that
any force being used to accelerate it would be applied to a growing
mass. At the speed of light, the theoretical mass of the ship becomes
infinite, preventing any further increase in speed.
