A hockey player uses a hockey stick to hit a puck such that the stick provides an applied force on the puck The puck travels for distance of 0.85 m while experiencing the force from the stick
The puck leaves the stick with a speed of 8.0 m/s and travels at constant speed in a straight line along the horizontalice for a distance of 12 m. The frictional force between the puck and the ice
surface is negligible
Which of the following statements best describes the force or forces exerted on the puck after it is hit by the stick and slides on the ice?
(A) The applied force from the stick is still exerted on the puck during this time.
Since the puck's acceleration is zero, there are no forces exerted on the puck during this time.
Since there is no frictional force exerted on the puck, a normal force is not exerted on the puck, but the gravitational force is exerted on the puck
There is no frictional force exerted on the puck and the gravitational force and normal force are exerted on the puck and are equal in magnitude

Sagot :

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation presented in order to know which answer is correct.

When the stick collides with the puck, it exerts a force for a certain time and discants. / After this time the horizontal force decreases to zero and the disk continues to move by the action of the initial velocity on the x axis and the acceleration of gravity on the y axis.

Therefore, after the collision, the only force that acts on the disk is the gravitational attractive force (WEIGHT), directed on the axis and in a negative direction.

The correct answer is:

C)           Since there is no frictional force exerted on the puck, a normal force is not exerted on the puck, but the gravitational force is exerted on the puck
