x= x0 sin( ωt )
equation for v can also be obtained by differentiating x with respect to time t.
v = x0 ω cos (ωt ) =
v0 cos
(ωt)
equation for a can also be obtained by differentiating v with respect to time t.
a = - x0 ω2 sin (ωt ) = - a0 sin (ωt)
by substitution, suggest if the defining equation a = - ω2 x is true or false.
