Question

PLEASE HELP.You hit a hockey puck across an empty hockey rink. At first the puck moves quickly, but then it slows and comes to a stop. What caused the hockey puck to stop?

Answer 1

Hi there!

Two possible answers are air resistance and friction.

Friction is caused by the rubbing of the surface of the ground and the surface of the object. Although ice doesn't have much friction, it can still cause friction.

Air resistance is caused by friction between the air and the object. As the object moves along a surface, it collides into many air particles; thus, it slows down.

Hope this helps.
Have an awesome day! :)

Answer 2

As far as it goes the slower it goes cause it is heavy and when its slowing down the ice makes it stop.
