Final answer:

The final displacement of the puck is 10 meters in the direction of the pass.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked for the final displacement of the puck in a scenario where one hockey player passes the puck directly across the ice to another player. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to the change in position of an object. In this case, since the pass was directly across the ice and on the same line, the magnitude of the displacement is the same as the distance between the two players, which is 10 meters. To calculate the final displacement, we would need to take into account the direction of the pass relative to some fixed axis, but since that information is not provided, we assume the displacement is simply 10 meters in the direction of the pass.
