The position of a particle in simple harmonic motion is described by the equation x(t) = A cos(ωt). If a phase constant of π/2 is added, which of the following equations represents the particle’s new motion?

A

x(t) = A sin(ωt)

B

x(t) = A cos(ωt - π/2)

C

x(t) = -A cos(ωt)

D

x(t) = -A sin(ωt)
