Question

A hockey puck is sliding across the ice with an initial velocity of 25 m/s. If the coefficient of friction between the hockey puck and the ice is 0.08, how much time (in seconds) will it take before the hockey puck slides to a stop

Answer 1

Answer: 31.89seconds

Explanation:

Based on the information given, we are meant to calculate deceleration which will be:

t = V/a

where, a = mg

Therefore, t = V/mg

t = 25/0.08 × 9.8

t = 25/0.784

t = 31.89seconds

Therefore, the time that it will take before the hockey puck slides to a stop is 31.89seconds.
