BI O EST Avoiding injury from hockey puck Hockey players wear protective helmets with facemasks. Why? Because the bone in the upper part of the cheek (the zygomatic bone) can fracture if the acceleration of a hockey puck due to its interaction with the bone exceeds 900 g for a time lasting 6.0 ms or longer. Suppose a player was not wearing a facemask. Is it likely that the acceleration of a hockey puck when hitting the bone would exceed these numbers? Use some reasonable numbers of your choice and estimate the puck’s acceleration if hitting an unprotected zygomatic bone.
