Simple Harmonic Motion - Velocity and Acceleration Equation Derivations

The video tutorial covers the derivation of equations for position, velocity, and acceleration in simple harmonic motion (SHM). It begins with a review of the position equation and introduces the concept of angular frequency. The tutorial then incorporates the phase constant into the position equation, followed by deriving the velocity and acceleration equations using calculus. The video concludes with a summary of maximum values for position, velocity, and acceleration, and a reminder to use radian mode for calculations.
