Explanation:
Given that,
The force exerted by the stick on the puck is 975 N
The stick is in contact with the puck for 0.0049 s
Initial speed of the puck, u = 0 (at rest)
(a) We need to find the impulse imparted by the stick to the puck.
Impulse = Force × time
J = 4.7775 kg-m/s
(b) Mass of the puck, m = 1.76 kg
We need to find the speed of the puck just after it leaves the hockey stick.
Let the speed be v.
As impulse is equal to the change in momentum.
[tex]J=m(v-u)\\\\4.7775=1.67(v-0)\\\\v=\dfrac{4.7775}{1.67}\\\\v=2.86\ m/s[/tex]
So, when the puck leaves the hockey stick its speed is 2.86 m/s.
