A. not slow down or speed up.
B. speed up a little, and then move at a constant speed.
C. speed up a little, and then slow down.
D. start to slow down.

Answer #1
      There is no frictional force between the ice and the hockey puck.
      In this case, the net force acting on the system (ice and hokey-puck) is zero.
      Therefore, the accelration 'a' must be equal to zero.
      Hence, the puck will not slow down and speed up.
      Therefore, the option (A) is correct answer.

    A hockey puck slides on ice (looking down on the ice from above; blue arrows are momentum, red line shows path); friction and air resistance are negligible. When the puck reaches location 2 it is struck hard by a hockey stick; the contact lasts a very short time. It then travels from 2 to 3 at nearly constant momentum. The magnitude of the puck's momentum is the same at locations 1 and 3. Which green arrow best indicates the direction of...

    An ice hockey puck is moving on a horizontal rough surface with the kinetic friction coefficient μ=0.16μ=0.16. How far will the puck go before coming to a complete stop if it's initial speed is V0 = 18.5 m/s? The traveled distance is ? How long will it take for the puck to stop? The time of travel is?

    A local ice hockey team has asked you to design an apparatus for measuring the speed of the hockey puck after a slap shot. Your design is a 2.00-m-long, uniform rod pivoted about one end so that it is free to rotate horizontally on the ice without friction. The 1.30-kg rod has a light basket at the other end to catch the 0.163-kg puck. The puck slides across the ice with velocity v vector (perpendicular to the rod), hits the...

    A hockey puck sliding across ice has an initial speed of 11 m/s but after 40.0 m has slowed down to 10.5 m/s. (10 pnts) (a) What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the ice and puck? (b) What would be the coefficient of kinetic friction between the same ice and puck if you glued another identical puck on top of the first one? I'm not sure that I have all of the equations to solve this, so I'm...

    7. A hockey puck B at rest on a smooth ice surface is struck by puck A of the same mass. Puck A was originally traveling at 30 m/s along the x-axis and is deflected 30 degrees from its original direction after an elastic collision. Use the principle of conservation of momentum and energy to, (a) compute the speed of each puck after the elastic collision, and (b) find the angle of puck B makes with the x-axis after the...

    An experiment is done on a horizontal surface. A block of mass m_1 is initially held in place compressing a spring with spring constant k by a distance x_0. The other end of the spring is firmly attached to the wall and does not move. What is the final speed of m_1 after it is released and loses contact with the spring? After it reaches its final speed, m_1 collides and sticks to a second block of mass m_2. What...

    Problem 1. You hit a bowling ball with a mallet, starting from rest. Every time you hit it, its velocity increases by exactly 10 cm/s. You start timing (t 0 seconds) at the instant you hit the ball the first time, and you hit it once every second. Two simplifying approximations: (1) Suppose each hit is very short, so the speed changes in a short amount of time and (2) suppose the ball doesn't slow down between hits a. Att...
