An air hockey puck bouncing off the sides of the table as an example of projectile motion?

In air hockey, when the puck hits the side of the table at an angle, it undergoes projectile motion as it bounces off the surface. The puck's velocity and direction change when it hits the side due to the perpendicular force exerted and the angle of impact. The puck follows a curved path as it rebounds, demonstrating the principles of projectile motion.
