The rays of light coming from the Sun are parallel to each other, so when they are reflected by the concave piece of glass (which acts as a concave mirror) they converge into the focus of the mirror, which is
The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is twice its focal length, so in this case it is:
The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is twice its focal length, so in this case it is:

The answer is: 201 J of kinetic energy.
<h2>Why?</h2>The motion of a pendulum (with no friction considered) is a continuous exchange between potential energy and kinetic energy.
So, at the highest point of its swing, the potential energy will be the maximum potential energy that the pendulum can have and the kinetic energy will be 0 since at max height the speed tends to 0.
On the opposite side, when the pendulum is at the bottom (the lowest point of its swing) the potential energy will be the minimum (tends to 0) but the kinetic energy will be the maximum.
Also, in the pendulum motion, the total energy is conserved, meaning that:
Where,
PE(h),is the potential energy at the highest point.
KE(h), is the kinetic energy at the highest point.
PE(l), is the potential energy at the lowest point (bottom of pendulum swing).
KE(l), is the kinetic energy at the lowest point (bottom of pendulum swing).
m, is the mass of the object.
g, is the acceleration of gravity.
v, is the speed of the object.
So, what is the energy at the bottom of its swing?
So, the pendulum has 201 of kinetic energy at the bottom of its swing.
Meaning that the energy is conserved.
