Question

Which of the following remains constant throughout the motion of a particle executing undamped simple harmonic motion?

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

In an ideal undamped SHM, conservative forces are at play. While kinetic and potential energies continuously convert into one another, the total mechanical energy ($E = K + U = \frac{1}{2}kA^2$) remains strictly constant.
