The velocity and acceleration of a particle performing simple harmonic motion have a steady phase relationship. The acceleration shows a phase lead over the velocity in radians of
Show Hint
Memory Trick: In SHM, each derivative introduces a phase lead of $\pi/2$. Displacement $\to$ Velocity ($\pi/2$ lead) $\to$ Acceleration (another $\pi/2$ lead, totaling $\pi$ lead from displacement).
