how do you show that the maximum speed of an oscillation in simple harmonic motion is the product of the angular velocity and the area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omega that you see in the formula is not angular velocity and A is not areabut maximum amplitude

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omega is angular frequency and A is amplitude if you have x=Asin(wt+c) then differentiating gives you velocity so v=Awcos(wt+c) and as cos has a maximum value of 1 then the maximum speed is Aw.
