Q) A one-dimensional potential is given by the formula U(x)=9(x-8)2 J, where x is in meters. If a mass of 2kg is placed at rest at the origin, what is the highest speed it will reach in its subsequent motion? ____m/s

PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW THIS WAS SOLVED, THANK YOU!!

Q2) Two identical blocks of mass 4kg are on a frictionless surface, one stationary, and the other moves towards it at a speed of 6m/s. Afterwards, the previously moving block moves in its same direction but with 1m/s. How much kinetic energy is "lost" in this collision? _____J
