    Simple harmonic as projection of circular motion

    Simple harmonic can be represented as a projection of circular motion.

    If P moves uniformly on a circle as shown in the below figure, then its projection P′ on a diameter of the circle executes SHM.

    As the particle P moves on the circle, The position of P′ on the x-axis is given by

    x(t) = A cos (ωt + φ)

    This is the equation of SHM on the x-axis with amplitude A and angular frequency as \omega

    Where A is the radius of the circle

    and \phi  is the angle that the radius OP makes with the x-axis at t=0

    Similarly, The position of P′ on the y-axis is given by

    y(t)=  A sin (ωt + φ)

    This also an SHM of the same amplitude as that of the projection on the x-axis, but differing by a phase of π/2.
