The diagram is not provided, but based on the information given, the correct response would be "It remains the same". In an idealized system without friction, the total mechanical energy of a simple pendulum is conserved (i.e., it remains constant) as it swings back and forth between positions A and B.
its wrong
Apologies for the incorrect response. Without further information or a diagram, it is difficult to determine the exact behavior of the pendulum as it swings from position A to position B. However, if neglecting friction, the total mechanical energy of the pendulum should indeed remain constant.
