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).


What is an example of sliding friction'?

one is a hockey puck sliding down the ice


Why is hockey used in physics in school?

Hockey is a good example of many simple phenomena in physics: a puck sliding across ice or, manifested in field hockey, a ball across turf (friction and momentum). Hockey can be played in variants, on ice, on hard surface (floor hockey) and turf (field), as demonstrated by the puck/ball being hit (friction, force, acceleration, rotational torque, impulse), players being hit (also momentum, tensile stress, thermodynamics), the ball falling along a parabolic path (projectile motion), etc. The surface the game is played on lies the beauty of physics: ice requires a Zamboni machine (kinematics and low temperature physics).


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

kinetic


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

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 the website for science in hockey?

In 2001, the "Physics of Hockey: Sliding Friction and Momentum on Ice" was born. It is the top site for information. Now it is simply called Hockey Physics 2.0. Go there: http://www.hockeyphysics.com


If a hockey puck is set in motion across a frozen pond if ice friction plus air resistance are neglected the force required to keep the puck sliding at a constant velocity is?

If you have eliminated all resistance then the initial force will be enough.


How is the motion of a hockey puck on ice different from the motion of a hockey puck on the street interms of forces?

On the ice, a hockey puck is pushing against much less surface friction, so it will slide with relative ease. On the street, a puck is forced to push against the pavement which it cannot do very well causing it to either stop or bounce across the surface.


Are there goalies in indoor hockey?

Yes there are, but seeing as you play on a different surface, sliding and the way you defend goals changes.


What is friction affected by?

Weight and surface affect friction. The more mass an object has more friction that will occur ex:/ It would be harder to slide an elephant across a floor than a hockey puck. This is because the large amount of friction on the elephant would slow it down. The smoother the surface the less friction. ex:/ There will be more friction on a floor of sandpaper than there would be on a floor of ice.


How do you stop a ball in hockey?

It depends on whether you are playing field, ice or indoor hockey, on what surface, whether the ball/puck is skipping or rolling/sliding and many other things.
