When the particle is on the negative side (x < 0) and moving toward the mean position (in the +x direction), its velocity is positive while its displacement is negative. Conversely, when it is on the positive side (x > 0) and moving back toward the mean (−x direction), its velocity is negative while its displacement is positive. In both of these quarter-cycles velocity and di …
