What forces are acting on the hockey puck?

What forces are acting on the hockey puck?

For example, if I take a slap shot on a hockey puck, from what I understand, the forces acting on the puck are friction, the normal force, and the puck’s weight.

What are the 3 physical properties of an object that are related by Newton’s second law of motion?

The BIG Equation Newton’s second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

What is the horizontal force acting on the puck?

The same string is used to tie the puck hence the horizontal force is equal to the tension force. Thus, the horizontal force is 15.5N .

What is the friction of a hockey puck?

about 0.1
Assuming the coefficient of friction is about 0.1 for our puck on ice, using some basic kinematics and Newton’s handy laws, that gives a stopping distance of just over 1000 m when the puck is hit with a starting speed of 160 km/hr.

How many forces act on a hockey puck sliding at constant velocity?

Since ice is frictionless, then frictional force is zero and there is no other external force is acting on the puck in the horizontal direction. Hence, the net force acting on the puck is zero and it glides with constant velocity.

What kind of friction does a hockey puck have?

This force diagram shows what forces act on the hockey puck as it moves across the ice. There are four main types of friction that are in play during the game of hockey. Fluid, sliding, rolling and static friction.

Is there any acceleration in a hockey puck?

(7) Yes, there’s no acceleration… the normal forces balances gravity… but more importantly acceleration isn’t a force…. Even if the puck is on ice, I wouldn’t automatically assume no friction. Otherwise hockey pucks could be tapped slightly and potentially go across entire arenas.

What happens when the puck is sliding on the ice?

Sliding Friction Sliding friction happens when the puck is sliding across the ice at any speed. The ice is a very slippery surface and there is very little friction when this is happening. It also is happening as the skates are sliding on the ice and the ice has very little friction so it makes the puck and the skates slow down at a slow rate.

Can a hockey puck go across an arena?

Otherwise hockey pucks could be tapped slightly and potentially go across entire arenas. I’d say include at least a small friction force opposing motion. There will be only Weight and Net Force acting on the puck. AE would be your answer.
