Question
A SHM is expressed by the equation $\text{x}=\text{A}\cos(\omega\text{t}+\phi)$ and the phase angle $\phi=0$ . Draw graphs to show variation of displacement, velocity and acceleration for one complete cycle in SHM.

Answer

Let $\text{x}=\text{A}\cos(\omega\text{t}+\phi)$ and if phase $\phi$ is zero, then $\text{x}=\text{A}\cos\omega\text{t}+\phi$

$\therefore\text{v}=\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{dt}}$ $=-\text{A}\omega\sin\omega\text{t}$

$\text{a}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dt}}=-\text{A}\omega^2\cos\omega\text{t}$

$=-\omega\text{x}$

Thus, values of x ,v and a at different times, over one complete oscillation cycle are:

$\text{time}$ $0$ $\frac{\text{T}}{4}$ $\frac{\text{T}}{2}$ $\frac{3\text{T}}{4}$ $\text{T}$
$\omega\text{t}$ $0$ $\frac{\pi}{2}$ $\pi$ $\frac{3\pi}{2}$ $2\pi$
$\text{x}$ $\text{A}$ $0$ $-\text{A}$ $0$ $\text{A}$
$\text{v}$ $0$ $-\text{A}\omega$ $0$ $+\text{A}\omega$ $0$
$\text{a}$ $-\text{A}\omega^2$ $0$ $\text{A}\omega^2$ $0$ $-\text{A}\omega^2$
With the given data we plot x-t.v-t and a-t graphs. The grapha have beem shown in Fig. (a), (b) and (c).
