Kinetic friction happens when there is kinetic energy and it is coming into contact with another source. ex: a ball rolling.
Answer:
a) V = 0.82m/s
b) Vmax = 0.985 m/s
Explanation:
By conservation of energy we know that:
Eo = Ef 
Solving for V we get:
V = 0.82 m/s
To find the maximum speed we will do the same to an intermediate point where the compression is X and the distance for the work donde by frictions is given by (Xmax - X) = (0.28m - X):

Then we have to solve for V, derive and equal zero in order to find position X. After solving the derivative we get:
X = 0.1m Replacing this value into the equation for Vmax:
Vmax = 0.985m/s
Protons have a positive energy charge, while neutrons have a neutral charge
