Question

What happens to a hockey puck when a net force of 5 N acts on it

Answer 1

The answer: It accelerates

Answer 2

The acceleration, a will be produced in the direction of the force,F provided to the body of a mas,m.

As we have the following formula:

• "F=ma."

• A hockey puck is a flat and round in structure, which is part of the whole kit for playing ice hockey. Which is very popular in the North American region and Canada.

We have the data provided to us, along with the given conditions, then:

Step-by-step explanation:

• Mass,m=0.17 kg,(As it weighs around 6 ounces in total)
• Force=5 N,
• We have, F=ma,
• So, will first rearrange the formula and then will put all the given data into it,
• a=F/m,
• a=5/0.17,
• a=29.41 m/sec².⇒ The required answer.
