A hockey puck initially travelling to the right at 34 m/s. It moves for 7 before
coming to a stop. How far did it move in 7 seconds?
You can use kinematic equations

Answer:

[tex]x=119m[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the hockey puck was moving at 34 m/s and suddenly stopped (final velocity is zero) in 7 seconds, we can first compute the acceleration via:

[tex]a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}=\frac{0m/s-34m/s}{7s}\\ \\a=-4.86m/s^2[/tex]

In such a way, we can compute the displacement via:

[tex]x=\frac{v_f^2-v_o^2}{2a}\\ \\x=\frac{0^2-(34m/s)^2}{2*-4.86m/s^2}\\ \\x=119m[/tex]

Best regards.
