Simple harmonic motion (SHM( is defined by the second order differential equation:
d2y/dt2 = -ky
where y is a fubction of time, t and is the displacement (relative to the central position), and k is a positive constant.
The equation says is that at any given position of the object undergoing SHM, its acceleration is proportional to its displacement from, and directed towards the central position.
The sine and cosine functions are solutions to the differential equation.
Sinusoid shape of the sine and cosine functions appear as oscillations. If an object is moving in a straight line and its position (function of time) can be described as sinusoid then it is referred to as a simple harmonic motion.

The basic circular functions are sine, cosine and tangent. Then there are their reciprocals and inverses.

Many oscillations are simple harmonic motions and such motion can be represented by a sine (or equivalently, cosine) curve.
Sine and cosine functions are used in physics to describe periodic phenomena, such as simple harmonic motion, sound waves, and alternating currents in circuits. They help in modeling phenomena that exhibit oscillatory behavior over time or space. Sine and cosine functions are also used in vector analysis to analyze the components of vectors in different directions.
because sine & cosine functions are periodic.
The maximum of the sine and cosine functions is +1, and the minimum is -1.
The oscillation of a dot in classical mechanics typically refers to the harmonic motion of an object about a fixed point. This motion can be described using sinusoidal functions such as sine and cosine. The dot's position changes periodically as it moves back and forth around the equilibrium position.

Simple harmonic motion - such as the motion of a simple pendulum, electromagnetic and other waves, tidal heights - may be modelled as sine (or cosine) curves. In these cases, the periodicity of the function is measured in units of time.
Yes, but only sine or cosine will suffice.
