Answer: The Sound of Silence.
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
Answer:
11.1 m/s
Explanation:
120 km = 120 x 1,000 = 120,000 m
3 hours = 3 x 60 x 60 = 3600 x 3 = 10,800 s
speed = 120,000 / 10,800
= 1200/108
= 11.1 m/s
