Question
Explain the relation in phase between displacement, velocity and acceleration in S.H.M., graphically as well as theoretically.

Answer

If displacement:

$\text{y = A}\sin(\omega\text{t}+\phi_0)$

velocity $\text{v}=\omega\text{A}\cos(\omega\text{t}+\phi_0)$

acceleration $\text{a}=-\omega^2\text{A}\sin(\omega\text{t}+\phi_0)$

x and v differ in phase by $\frac{\pi}{2}.$

v and a differ in phase by $\frac{\pi}{2}.$
