at the lowest point in the trajector, the kinetic energy of the bob is 300 J.

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of the bob at any point of its motion is given by

E=KE+PE

Where

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 is the kinetic energy, where

m is the mass of the bob

v is its speed

PE=mgh is the gravitational potential energy, where

g is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the bob, measured with respect to the lowest point of the trajector

In absence of friction, the total mechanical energy E remains constant. So we have:

- When the bob swings upward, the PE increases (because h increases) and the KE decreases (so the speed decreases). At the highest point in the trajector, the speed of the bob is zero (v=0), so its KE is also zero and all the mechanical energy is potential energy: U = 300 J

- When the bob swings downward, the PE decreases (because h decreases) and the KE increases (so the speed increases). At the lowest point in the trajectory, the height has become zero (h=0), so the PE is zero and all the mechanical energy is kinetic energy: KE = 300 J

Therefore, at the lowest point in the trajector, the kinetic energy of the bob is 300 J.
