Answer:
1. 
2. 
Explanation:
1. According to Newton's law of motion, the puck motion is affected by the acceleration, which is generated by the push force F.
In Newton's 2nd law: F = ma
where m is the mass of the object and a is the resulted acceleration. So in the 2nd experiment, if we double the mass, a would be reduced by half.

Since the puck start from rest, in the 1st experiment, to achieve speed of v it would take t time

Now that acceleration is halved:


You would need to push for twice amount of time 
2. The distance traveled by the puck is as the following equation:

So if the acceleration is halved while maintaining the same d:

As
, then
. Also 



So t increased by 1.14
Answer:
16613 m/s
Explanation:
Given that
mass of the fly, m = 0.55 g = 0.55*10^-3 kg
Kinetic Energy of the fly, E = 7.6*10^4 J
Speed of the fly, v = ? m/s
We know that the Kinetic Energy is that energy that an object, in this case, the fly, possesses due to its motion.
The Kinetic Energy, KE of any object is represented by the formula
KE = 1/2 * m * v²
If we substitute the values in the relation, we have,
7.6*10^4 = 1/2 * 0.55*10^-3 * v²
v² = (15.2*10^4) / 0.55*10^-3
v² = 2.76*10^8
v = √2.76*10^8
v = 16613 m/s
Thus, the fly would need a speed of 16.6 km/s in order to have a Kinetic Energy of 7.6*10^4 J
Answer:
0.076 m/s
Explanation:
Momentum is conserved:
m v = (m + M) V
(0.111 kg) (55 m/s) = (0.111 kg + 80. kg) V
V = 0.076 m/s
After catching the puck, the goalie slides at 0.076 m/s.
