Question

How much force is necessary when Gretzky accelerates a 1.04 kg hockey puck at 987 m/s2?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is 1026 N

Answer 2

1026 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate the force required by using Newton's second law:

`F=ma`

where

F is the force applied

m is the mass of the hockey puck

a is the acceleration

In this problem, the mass is m=1.04 kg, while the acceleration is
`a=987 m/s^2`, therefore the force required is

`F=ma=(1.04 kg)(987 m/s^2)=1026 N`
