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
The mass of the puck does not affect its rotational motion in a circular path, only the force required to keep it in that path. The mass of the puck is the same whether it is rotating or not. The force keeping the puck in a circular path is provided by the tension in the string, which is determined by the speed of rotation and the mass of the puck.
The hockey puck has kinetic energy as it slides across the ice. This energy is due to the puck's motion and is directly related to its mass and speed.

If you apply more force to a hockey puck, it will accelerate and move faster in the direction of that force. The puck's speed and distance traveled will increase, depending on the amount of force applied.
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.
