    SHM Q&A: Find Period given Max Speed & Acceleration

    Oh of course! Bloody hell. Yeah, thank you for going through that and having patience. I should have got this a hell of a lot easier, but it feels like one of those nights lol, thanks very much! Appreciate it.

    dv(t)/dt = -Vω

    I would think that is when the phase is equal to zero, giving cos(ωt + φ) = 1

    Ok, dv(t) / dt = -Vωcos(ωt + φ)

    I got to that point previously, but just wasn't sure what to do next. I feel like it should be obvious, but it just hasn't clicked

    SHM Q&A: Find Period given Max Speed & Acceleration

    By differentiating, giving: v(t) = Aωsin(ωt + φ), and acceleration would therefore be: a(t) = -Aω2cos(ωt + φ)

    Do you mean: x(t) = Acos(ωt + φ)?
