Aplayer uses a hockey stick to push a puck at a constant velocity across the ice. the weight of the puck is 170 n. the coefficient of friction is 0.0600. with what force must the player push the puck so that his force just equals the frictional force? 28.3 n 0.999 n 0.102 n 0.0104 n

The minimum force by which player should hit the puck to move it is 0.102 N.

Explanation:

Weight of the puck = 1.70 N

This weight of the puck is the force acting normal to the surface that is:

N = 1.70 N

The coefficient of friction =

Frictional force =

The minimum force by which player should hit the puck to move it is 0.102 N.

0.11 m/s and 0.28 m/s should be correct

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
