6 Figure 19.40 shows the displacement of a body as it vibrates between two points.
a State and explain whether the body is moving with simple harmonic motion. [1]
b Make a copy of Figure 19.40.
i On the second set of axes on your copy, show the velocity of the body as it vibrates. [1]
ii On the third set of axes on your copy, show the acceleration of the body. [2]
