Answer and Explanation:
Let:
The equation representing a simple harmonic motion, where:
As you may know the derivative of the position is the velocity and the derivative of the velocity is the acceleration. So we can get the velocity and the acceleration by deriving the position:
Also, you may know these fundamental formulas:
