Question

A hockey puck zips across the ice at a constant velocity of 15 meters per second. Two hockey players from opposing teams skate toward the puck and hit it at precisely the same time with forces that are equal in magnitude but exactly opposite in direction. Assuming the ice is frictionless, what is the velocity of the puck afterward (in m/s)?
