You can pick some other crazy origin, but it doesn't help.
-
So, we'll assume φ is 0 in this problem.
-
If that is x, what is velocity at time t?
-
Take the derivative of this, you get -ω·A·sin(ω·t).
-
That means the velocity is also oscillating sinusiodally,
-
but the amplitude for oscillation is ω times A.
-
So, if A is the range of variation for x,
-
ω times A is the range of variation for velocity.
-
Velocity will go all the way from plus ω·A to -ω·A.
-
The acceleration, which is one more derivative,
-
is -ω^2·A·cos(ω·t),
-
which is really -ω^2 times x itself.
