A hockey puck has a mass of 0.107 kg and is at rest. A hockey player makes a shot, exerting a constant force of 28.0 N on the puck for 0.16 s. With what speed does it head toward the goal

Respuesta :

Answer:

The speed does it head toward the goal = 41.87 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Explanation:

Mass = 0.107 kg

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0

Force (F) = 28 N

Time = 0.16 sec

From newton's second law,  Force  = mass × acceleration

⇒  F = m × a

⇒  28 = 0.107 × a

⇒  a = 261.7 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex] --------- (1)

This is the value of acceleration.

Final speed of the mass is calculated by the equation V = U + at

⇒ U = 0 because mass in in rest position at start.

⇒ V = a t

Put the values of acceleration and time in above formula we get

⇒ V = 261.7 × 0.16

⇒ V = 41.87 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Therefore the speed does it head toward the goal = 41.87 [tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]
