Title: Simple Harmonic Motion: Visualizing the Relationship between Position, Velocity, and Acceleration using Uniform Circular Motion

Category: Kinematics of SHM

Summary: In this learning objective, I tried to illustrate the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration for simple harmonic motion by using imagery and the concept of uniform circular motion. I used information about how the signs of these properties change throughout the quadrants of a circle, then used an x-y graph of all three to show how they are interrelated.
