Why are positive and negative numbers used on a harmonic motion graph?

Since amplitude can vary, it is inconvenient to set "0" at the maximum swing point. This can move your zero and all successive measurements with just a touch. Additionally, "simple harmonic motion" is easily described by combinations of the sine and cosine functions, and they yield positive and negative values of equal magnitudes. So it is *easier* to set zero at "mid span".

Does a pendulum undergo simple harmonic motion?
A simple pendulum undergoes simple harmonic motion only for small amplitudes because for small amplitudes the motion almost reduces to a straight line motion. Simple harmonic motion means motion on a straight not on curves
How to calculate the period of a simple harmonic motion?
by using the formula we will calculat time period of simple harmonic motion
The difference between a positive and negative motion?
The difference between positive and negitive motion is.. that this website stinks and idk. go check somewhere else trust me.
Is oscillation of compound pendulum or simple pendulum is perfectly simple harmonic motion?
A simple pendulum exhibits simple harmonic motion
What is difference between oscillatory and simple harmonic motion?
Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.Simple harmonic motion (SHM) is in one dimension whereas oscillatory motion is 2-dimensional motion that is SHM in one dimension but linear in another.
Is uniform circular motion a simple harmonic motion?
Simple Harmonic motion is circular motion. Look at a graph showing simple harmonic motion... you'll see it.
What is that motion which is periodic but not harmonic?
what is difference between simple harmonic motion and vibratory motion?
Can you say circular motion is a harmonic motion?
No. "Simple harmonic motion" is motion in a single dimension; it can be represented as the projection of a uniform circular motion.
What is the motion of a pendulum?
Simple harmonic motion

More differences between simple harmonic motion and periodic motion with practical examples?
because we see that in simple harmonic motion there are trignometric function from which we can define its equation of motion. now we know that these function are periodically but bounded to some conditions that's why all periodic function can not be simple harmonic motions.

How does a negative or positive acceleration affect motion?
It can change the direction of motion or it can speed up or slow down an object.
What is the motion on a vibrating body?
It is usually damped harmonic motion.
