A point p moves in a circle of radius R, at constant angular velocity w. The origin of an x axis is at the center of the circle. Represent as vectors, the location, the velocity and the acceleration of point p, then show the x direction projection of these three vectors to represent the location, the velocity and the acceleration of a point which executes Simple Harmonic Motion, SHM.
