- B
- C
- D

Correct answer: A, D
- Write the SHM relations
For a particle in simple harmonic motion, where
Also, velocity and displacement satisfy though we may not need this immediately.
- Check each option
Option A:
Using , Now substitute : This is a constant, so A does not change with time.
Option B:
Substitute : Since both and vary with time, this is not obviously constant. Let us rewrite using Then Now in SHM, if then So which clearly changes with time. Hence B changes with time.
Option C:
Using , Since both and are time-dependent and their ratio is not constant in SHM, this varies with time.
To confirm, using we get
=\omega T\cot(\omega t+\phi)=2\pi\cot(\omega t+\phi)$$ which is not constant. Hence **C changes with time**. --- ### Option D: $a^2T^2+4\pi^2v^2$ Use $a=-\omega^2 x$: $$a^2T^2=(\omega^4x^2)T^2$$ Since $$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T},$$ we have $$\omega^2T^2=4\pi^2$$ Therefore, $$a^2T^2=\omega^4x^2T^2=\omega^2x^2(\omega^2T^2)=4\pi^2\omega^2x^2$$ Thus, $$a^2T^2+4\pi^2v^2=4\pi^2(\omega^2x^2+v^2)$$ Now for SHM, $$v^2+\omega^2x^2=\omega^2A^2$$ So, $$a^2T^2+4\pi^2v^2=4\pi^2\omega^2A^2$$ which is constant. Hence **D also does not change with time**. --- 3. **Conclusion** The quantities that do **not** change with time are: $$\boxed{A \text{ and } D}$$ So the given stored answer $A$ alone is incomplete/incorrect if this is a single-correct MCQ.More from Simple Harmonic Motion
