Solution

For a particle executing SHM, $\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{A} \sin \omega \mathrm{t}, \mathrm{v}=\mathrm{AW} \cos \omega \mathrm{t}, \mathrm{a}=-\mathrm{A}\omega^2 \sin \omega \mathrm{t}$ $\therefore v=A \omega \sqrt{1-\sin ^2 \omega t}=A \omega \sqrt{1-\left(\frac{x}{A}\right)^2}=\omega \sqrt{A^2-x^2}$ At $\omega=1, v^2=A^2-x^2 \Rightarrow v^2+x^2=A^2$ $\therefore$ Velocity displacement graph is a circle. Now, $a=-A \omega^2 \sin \omega t$ $\therefore \quad$ Acceleration time graph is sinusoidal Also, $a=\left(A \omega^2\right)\left(\frac{x}{A}\right)=-\omega^2 x$ $\therefore$ Acceleration displacement graph is straight line Now, $v=A \omega \cos \omega t,-a=-A \omega^2 \sin \omega t$ $\therefore\left(\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{A}\omega}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}}{-\mathrm{A}\omega}\right)^2=\sin ^2 \omega \mathrm{t}+\cos ^2 \mathrm{wt}=1$ $\Rightarrow \frac{v^2}{A^2 \omega^2}+\frac{a^2}{A^2 \omega^4}=1$ $\therefore$ Acceleration - velocity graph is ellipse
