Final answer:
Without additional information about the speed and duration of contact for each puck's collision, it is not possible to determine which hockey puck experienced the strongest force when hit.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine which hockey puck experienced the strongest force when hit, you would need to consider the change in momentum (or impulse) and the time over which the force was applied. Given the information provided in the different scenarios regarding pucks A, B, and C, we do not have enough information about the forces applied to the pucks during the collisions or the duration of each collision to make a definitive conclusion. To accurately answer this question, more details such as the speed at which each puck was traveling and the time of contact with the stick or other pucks would be necessary. Without this information, we cannot use the impulse-momentum theorem or any principals of collisions like conserved quantities (like momentum or kinetic energy) to determine which puck experienced the strongest force.
