Is a hockey puck at equilibrium if it slides across the ice at a constant speed?

Yes.


Can A hockey puck that slides across the ice at a constant speed be in equilibrium?

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 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.


How does inertia affect the motion of a hockey puck?

If a puck is placed on the ice so that it isn't moving it will stay where it is placed. That's inertia.If a player whacks the puck straight for the net and no other player gets in the way then the puck will go into the net. The only thing that could slow the puck would be the tiny friction between the ice and the puck but that doesn't amount to much. The air turbulence around a puck must have a slight effect too. But the overall straight line trajectory of the puck is inertia too.In ordinary life, things 'at rest stay at rest' and things that are moving move in straight lines unless additional forces act on those things.


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 a interference in hockey?

Interference in ice hockey is when you hinder the movement of a player who does not possess the puck. You can body check the play with the puck and no penalty will be called. If you body check a player away from the puck, an interference penalty will be called.
