A hockey player strikes a puck, giving it an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s in the positive x-direction. The puck slows uniformly to 1.00 m/s when it has traveled 10.0 m. What is the puck's acceleration? That is, what is the magnitude for the rate of slowing down for the puck? a. less than 1 m/s^2 b. between 1 and 1.5 m/s^2 c. more than 1.5 m/s^2 d. none of the above.

A hockey puck has an initial velocity of $50 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ and a final velocity of $35 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. a. If it travels $35 \mathrm{m}$ during this time, what is the acceleration? b. If the mass of the puck is 0.11 kg, what is the horizontal force on the puck?

During a hockey game, a puck accelerates from rest at 5.0 m/s^2 over a distance of 80.0 cm. The puck then slides with a constant speed for 4.0 s until it reaches a rough section that causes the puck to stop in 2.5 s. How would I calculate the following: a) What is the speed of the puck when it reaches the rough section? b) What is the rate at which the puck slows down once it reaches the rough section? c) What is the total distance the puck slides throughout the whole trip? d) What is the average speed of the puck?

A 0.160-kg hockey puck is moving on an icy, frictionless, horizontal surface. At $t$ = 0, the puck is moving to the right at 3.00 m/s. (a) Calculate the velocity of the puck (magnitude and direction) after a force of 25.0 N directed to the right has been applied for 0.050 s. (b) If, instead, a force of 12.0 N directed to the left is applied from $t$ = 0 to $t$ = 0.050 s, what is the final velocity of the puck?
