Kinetic frictionon theobject willbe acting back and on the land, itwillbe acting forwards. Since, there is no movement along this forwardkinetic frictionforce, Hence,workdonewillbe zero. Thus,Workdone by theKinetic Friction on an Object canboth thePositiveand Zero. Sometimes Itcanbe negative also

Since the motion of the body can be placed in the direction of friction, opposite to the direction of motion and even can not be placed any motion. So, Work done by force of friction can be zero, negative, and can be positive.
