Electromagnetic waves travel at in vacuum
The fundamental properties that can be attributed to waves are;
Other properties are ;
Electromagnetic radiation can be regarded as radiation that has waves of the electromagnetic field, which propagate through the space, and it moves along with electromagnetic radiant energy.
Therefore, electromagnetic waves travel at 300,000,000 metres per second in vacuum.
The kinetic energy of a mass oscillating on a vertical spring is at a minimum when the object is at the extreme points of its motion. This is because the object has momentarily stopped moving, leading to zero kinetic energy. All the energy is instead stored as potential energy in the spring.
In the case of a mass oscillating on a vertical spring, the kinetic energy of the object is at a minimum when the object is at its extreme points, i.e., when it is at points 'a' or 'b'. This is because, at these positions, the object momentarily comes to rest before reversing its direction, thereby having a velocity (and hence kinetic energy), which is proportional to the square of the velocity, of zero. The energy at these points is mainly stored in the spring as potential energy.
At these extreme points, we have a situation where the potential energy (U) is maximum and the kinetic energy (K) is equal to zero. At the midpoint position x = 0, the entire energy is kinetic while the potential energy in the spring is zero, which suggests that the kinetic energy is minimum at the extreme positions.
This property of kinetic and potential energy fluctuating between each other is a common characteristic of simple harmonic motion.

4 minutes. What is its speed?
The speed of the tortoise can be calculate as follows:
where
S is the distance travelled by the tortoise
t is the time taken
In this problem, S=6.4 m, while we should convert the time into seconds:
Substituting the numbers into the equation, we find the speed:
