A hockey puck wont slide very far on concrete or asphalt, but it will slide for a very long time on ice. Why is this?

Physics

Answer:

Concrete and Asphalt are much rougher surfaces and have a higher coefficient of friction because they generate more resistance to an object in motion. Ice has less friction and less energy is lost to heat, causing the puck to slide much further.

When hockey players push the puck along the ice it slides causing heat which melts the ice causing the friction against the ice to be less.

FrozenT [24]
The silver coating on the inner bottle prevents heat transfer by radiation, and the vacuum between its double wall prevents heat moving by convection. The thinness of the glass walls stops heat entering or leaving the flask by conduction.

If a car accelerates uniformly from rest to 15 meters
Talja [164]

Answer:

1.125m/s^2

Explanation:

Since acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with respect to time. Mathematically

v^2= u^2+2as

Where a,v,u and s are the acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity and distance respectively.

a = ?

u = 0m/s

v = 15m/s

s = 100m

Substituting the values into the formula above

v^2= u^2+2as

15^2=0^2+2×a×100

225= 0+200a

225= 200a

Divide both sides by 200

225/200 = 200a/200

a= 1.125m/s^2

Hence the acceleration of the car is 1.125m/s^2.

Note that the car accelerated uniformly from rest, that was why the initial velocity was 0m/s
