This type of problems about friction are extremely simple: You just multiply the normal force by the coefficient of friction to get the frictional force.

How is sliding friction shown in field hockey?

Sliding friction is shown in hockey when you hit the puck. The puck has friction against the ice (but there isn't much).


Why Kinetic Friction is constant?

Because kinetic friction is proportional to the weight of the object moving, not the speed of the object. While it definitely seems like something that moves faster should be losing more energy to friction, friction only depends on how much the two objects push against each other, not how fast they touch. Imagine what would happen if hockey players slowed down due to increasing friction as they skated faster. **Don't confuse pressure with the force of friction.** Pressure = Force/Area f = u*N (N is the normal force from the surface)


What kind of energy does a hockey puck sliding across the ice have?

kinetic energy


A sentence for friction?

If it weren't for friction, the hockey puck would have slid forever on the huge frozen pond.


Does surface type affect the force of friction?

Surface types can affect the force of friction because as the surface gets rough and rougher it has more friction and smooth surface has less friction. if we compare the affect of friction force on a ice and road. Road is much more rough than the ice chunk and if we slide a ice hockey puck on each of the surfaces, we get that smoother surfaces has less friction.


What kind of energy does a hockey puck sliding across ice have?

kinetic


How hockey players need friction?

Hockey players depend on the ice. They sway from side to side in a constant motion which causes friction to occur between their ice skates and the rink itself.


Is there friction on an air hockey table?

yes and no, It depends on what type of friction. it has no friction with the table, but it does have friction from the air being pushed from beneath. What slows the puck down the most is air resistance


Which sport requires high and low friction?

Hockey. Low friction when the player is gliding down the ice. High friction when he is propelling himself down the ice.


Are there any energies when you shot a hockey puck?

As far as I am aware, there is something called Kinetic energy, the movement of the puck causes kinetic energy.


Why does a ice-hockey puck have less friction than a ball rolling on the ground?

Ice has a much smoother surface than the surface of the ground, therefore there is less friction acting on the hockey puck compared to a ball rolling on the ground. Ice is nearly a frictionless surface.


What is an example of sliding friction'?

one is a hockey puck sliding down the ice
