Negative, Negative, Positive (at $t=0.3 s$ ) Positive, Positive, Negative (at $t=1.2 s$ ) Negative, Positive, Positive (at $t=-1.2 s )$ For simple harmonic motion (SHM) of a particle, acceleration ( $a$ ) is given by the relation:
$a=-\omega^{2} x \omega \rightarrow$ angular frequency $\ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots$ (i)
$t=0.3 s$
In this time interval, $x$ is negative. Thus, the slope of the $x-t$ plot will also be negative. Therefore, both position and velocity are negative. However, using equation (i), acceleration of the particle will be positive. $t=1.2 s$
In this time interval, $x$ is positive. Thus, the slope of the $x-t$ plot will also be positive. Therefore, both position and velocity are positive. However, using equation (i), acceleration of the particle comes to be negative. $t=-1.2 s$
In this time interval, $x$ is negative. Thus, the slope of the $x -t$ plot will also be negative. since both $x$ and $t$ are negative, the velocity comes to be positive. From equation (i), it can be inferred that the acceleration of the particle will be positive.

A body is at rest at $x=0$. At $t=0$, it starts moving in the positive $x-$ direction with a constant acceleration. At the same instant another body passes through $x=0$ moving in the positive $x$ direction with a constant speed. The position of the first body is given by $x_{1} (t)$ after time $t$ and that of the second body by $x_{2}(t)$ after the same time interval. Which of the following graphs correctly describe $\left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right)$ as a function of time $t$?
