During an ice hockey game, George had two shots on goal: one shot from 5m away at 10m/s and one shot from 10m away at 40m/s. Which shot did the goalie have a better chance of blocking?

First shot

Explanation:

A) Distance of puck from goal during the first shot = 5m away

Speed of puck during first shot = 10m/s

Time taken to score = ?

Since speed is the distance covered per unit time

i.e speed = Distance / time taken

Time taken = Distance / Speed

Time taken = 5m / 10m/s

= 0.5 seconds

B) Distance of puck from goal during the second shot = 10m away

Speed of puck during second shot = 40m/s

Time taken to score = ?

Recall that time taken = (Distance / Speed)

Time taken = 10m / 40m/s

= 0.25 seconds

It will take 0.5 seconds for the first shot to score whereas it will takes 0.25 seconds for the second shot to score.

Thus, the goalie have a better chance of blocking the first shot since it is slower than the second.

the reason is because the moon has some form of gravity, and that gravity pulls the ocean tides.
