3. Alice and Kai were playing air hockey, which is a game where players hit a puck with paddles so the puck slides across

a table. After the game, they were crashing the puck and two different paddles. The puck was the same in both crashes.
but the paddles were different: the red paddle had less mass, while the purple paddle had more mass. Use the
information in the diagram to answer.
In which crash did the puck experience a stronger force? Why?
