In SHM the
displacement x of a particle from the mean position can be given as:
x = A Cos ωt
A = amplitude from the mean position
ω = angular frequency of vibration
Ф = 0 = initial phase of SHM, at t = 0
t = time
velocity = v = dx/dt = - A ω Sin ωt
= A ω Cos (ω t + π/2)
So velocity is π/2 radians ahead of displacement in the phase
angle.
acceleration = a = dv/dt = - A ω² Cos ω t
= A ω² Sin (ω t + π)
So acceleration is π radians ahead of displacement and π/2 rad ahead
of velocity.
