Answer:

Explanation:
Given that
At X=0 V=Vo
At X=X1 V=0
As we know that friction force is always try to oppose the motion of an object. It means that it provide acceleration in the negative direction.
We know that



So the friction force on the box
Ff= m x a

Where m is the mass of the box.
That would make a cation. If it gained one instead, then it would make an anion.
