These graphs show the displacement of a body as it vibrates between two points
State and explain whether the body is moving with simple harmonic motion.

These graphs show the displacement of a body as it vibrates between two points.
Make a copy of the three graphs
(i)On the second set of axes on your copy show the velocity of the body as it vibrates.
(ii)On the third set of axes on your copy, show the acceleration of the body.
