B
Increasing the argument of the cosine function in SHM results in a decrease in frequency.
C
The motion of a block attached to a spring is independent of its distance from the mean position.
D
In SHM, the maximum displacement occurs when the acceleration is zero.
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The displacement of a particle in SHM can indeed be described by the function f(t) = A cos(ωt), as stated in the provided context. Options B, C, and D reflect misconceptions about the relationships in SHM.
