a 0.5 kg hockey puck slides to the right at 10 m/s. it is hit with a hockey stick that exerts the force shown, where direction is along with the puck. what is its approximate final speed?

You mentioned "a 0 kg hockey puck slides to the right at 10 m," but it seems you might have meant a hockey puck with mass sliding to the right at 10 m/s. From the information found:

  • A typical hockey puck has a mass around 0.5 kg.
  • If a hockey puck slides on ice at 10 m/s, it experiences frictional forces opposing its motion.
  • The motion can be analyzed using physics principles such as kinetic friction, momentum, impulse, and energy conservation.
  • The force of kinetic friction slows the puck down over time, depending on the coefficient of friction between the puck and the ice.
  • For example, if a puck is hit with a force, you can calculate its acceleration, change in speed, or stopping distance using formulas involving mass, force, initial speed, and friction.

Could you please confirm or clarify your exact question or scenario involving the hockey puck sliding at 10 m/s? Are you interested in calculating something specific such as its acceleration, stopping distance, the force needed to hit it, or something else? This will help me provide a precise answer.
