# For an object oscillating in SHM, what is the relationship between its displacement, velocity, and acceleration graphs as a function of time?

For an object oscillating in SHM, what is the relationship between its displacement, velocity, and acceleration graphs as a function of time?

- **A.** The displacement and acceleration are always in the same direction, while velocity is perpendicular.
- **B.** The velocity is a maximum when displacement is a maximum, but acceleration is zero.
- **C.** The displacement, velocity, and acceleration are all at a maximum at the same time.
- **D.** The velocity graph is a maximum when the displacement is zero, and the acceleration graph is a maximum when the displacement is at a maximum (in the opposite direction).
