Answer

The object will move an additional 0.240 meters before stopping momentarily and moving back to the left.

Work Step by Step

We can find the value of $\frac{k}{m}$ $kx = ma$ $\frac{k}{m} = \frac{a}{x}$ $\frac{k}{m} = \frac{8.40~m/s^2}{0.600~m}$ $\frac{k}{m} = 14.0~s^{-2}$ We can find $\omega$. $\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ $\omega = \sqrt{14.0~s^{-2}}$ $\omega = 3.74~rad/s$ We can find the amplitude. $\omega~\sqrt{A^2-x^2} = v$ $A = \sqrt{x^2+\frac{v^2}{\omega^2}}$ $A = \sqrt{(0.600~m)^2+\frac{(2.20~m/s)^2}{(3.74~rad/s)^2}}$ $A = 0.840~m$ From $x = 0.600~m$, the distance to $A = 0.840~m$ is $0.240~m$. Therefore, the object will move an additional 0.240 meters before stopping momentarily and moving back to the left.
