Question

An ice hockey player of mass m1 = 93.5 kg hits a puck of mass m2 = 0.14 kg, giving the puck a speed of v = 39.5 m/s. a) If both are initially at rest and if the ice is frictionless, how far, in terms of the variables in the problem, does the player recoil in the time it takes the puck to reach the goal, a distance d away? b)If both are initially at rest and if the ice is frictionless, how far, in centimeters, does the player recoil in the time it takes the puck to reach the goal, 15 m away?

Step 1

Given: - Mass of player, m1 = 93.5 kg - Mass of puck, m2 = 0.14 kg - Speed of puck after being hit, v = 39.5 m/s Using conservation of linear momentum: Initial momentum = 0 (both player and puck are initially at rest) Final momentum = m1 * v1 (momentum of player) Show more…
