A 2.0kg pendulum swings from point A of a height of 0.10m to a point B of the same height. The heights are relative to the lowerst height. What is the change in gravitational potential energy from A to B?

The change in Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) is actually 0! Think about it:
What is the formula for it?
Well, GPE = mgh.
So, when the height is the same in both cases, we know the gravitational potential energy is the same. Therefore, change in GPE = 0.
Sure, GPE did transform to KE during the swing, but all of that KE transformed back into the original amount of GPE.
