Best Answer

A hockey puck of mass m = 0.25 kg is tied to a string and is rotating horizontally in a

circle of radius R = 1.0 m on top of a frictionless table. The string is passing through a hole in

the center of the table with a mass of 1 kg hanging vertically downward below the table. If the

1 kg mass hanging below the table remains in

equilibrium (at a fixed position) while the puck is

rotating horizontally.

Since the weight below the table remains in equilibrium, the tension in the rope must

equal the weight suspended from it

T = W = (1 kg) × (9.81 m/s2

) = 9.81 N

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).


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 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.
