Neglecting friction, if a puck is sliding at 2 m/s it will still be sliding at 2 m/s when it slides off the table. Immediately before hitting the floor, its velocity in the x-direction will still be 2 m/s but it will have accelerated to a y-velocity of approximately 6.4 m/s, yielding a total speed of 6.6 m/s.

Non-sequitor. The friction of the ice, although minimal, causes a puck to travel at a decreasing speed. Given no friction, a puck could be said to have momentum equilibrium.

How does gravity influence the movements in air hockey?

Gravity keeps the puck near the table.


We just bought a used air hockey table and the puck doesnt slide very well on the top surface anymore so should we wax it or do we need a new fan or what?

We had the same problem but I tried the following and became significantly better: -With power off, spray some furniture polish on a rag and apply thoroughly on to the surface of the table. -Spray the same polish on to the bottom of the strikers as well. - Use a bar soap and rub onto the bottom of the puck.
