What are some examples of hockey and newtons laws?

Answer 1

All the three Newtons laws of motion is applicable in the game of hockey. The ball stays where it is unless it is hit and given a force. The acceleration in the ball is proportional to the force given to it through the stick by the player. The ball when rebounds on the goal post is as per the third law of motion. As the stick, the ball and the post are rigid materials there is not much loss due to absorption.

Answer 2

An example of Newton's first law in hockey is when a hockey puck remains at rest until a player applies a force to set it in motion. Newton's second law can be seen when a player exerts a greater force when taking a slap shot, resulting in a higher acceleration of the puck. Newton's third law is demonstrated when players push off the ice with their skates to propel themselves in the opposite direction.
