The correct answer is:
Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.
In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.
Instantaneous center:
It is the center about a body moves in planer motion. The velocity of Instantaneous center is zero and Instantaneous center can be lie out side or inside the body. About this center every particle of a body rotates.
From the diagram
Where these two lines will cut then it will the I-Center.Point A and B is moving perpendicular to the point I.
If we take three link link1,link2 and link3 then I center of these three link will be in one straight line It means that they will be co-linear.
Therefore, when the mass is at its equilibrium position (which corresponds to x=0), the velocity of the mass will be maximum.
