Answer:
2.95m
Explanation:
The farthest distance the object can move is the radius of the circle of which the Simple harmonic motion is assumed to be a part
But V = w× r; where V is velocity,
w is angular velocity and r is radius.
Also,
a= w2r; where a is linear acceleration
but a = v× r ; by comparing both equations
Hence r = a/v =8.6/2.45 =3.51m
But the horizontal distance of the motion is given by:
X = rcosx ; where x is the angle
X is the distance covered.
We know that the maximum value of cos x is 1 which is 0°
When the object moves in a fashion directly parallel to an horizontal distance, maximum distance would be reached and hence:
X = r=3.51m
Meaning the object needs to travel 3.51-0.56=2.95m further.
Note: the acceleration of the motion is constant whether it is swinging towards the left or right.
