Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel through. They can travel through empty space or matter.
As we know that KE and PE is same at a given position
so we will have as a function of position given as

also the PE is given as function of position as

now it is given that
KE = PE
now we will have




so the position is 0.707 times of amplitude when KE and PE will be same
Part b)
KE of SHO at x = A/3
we can use the formula

now to find the fraction of kinetic energy



now since total energy is sum of KE and PE
so fraction of PE at the same position will be


Is this a true or false question?
the puck recoils in each case.
larger mass stone gives puck greater recoil, smaller stone, smaller recoil
<h2>
Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.</h2>
Explanation:
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²
Time, t = 0.866 s
Substituting
s = ut + 0.5 at²
s = 0 x 0.866 + 0.5 x 9.81 x 0.866²
s = 3.68 m
Halfway is 3.68 m
Total height = 2 x 3.68 = 7.36 m
We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²
Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s
Acceleration, a = 9.81 m/s²
Time, t = ?
Displacement, s = 7.36 m
Substituting
s = ut + 0.5 at²
7.36 = 0 x t + 0.5 x 9.81 x t²
t = 1.22 s
Entire trip takes 1.22 seconds.
