During a hockey game, the puck slid from the center line directly to the goal line, which was 27meters away. It took the puck 1.8seconds to slide from the center line to the goal line. As the puck slid, it was chased by a hockey player skating at 9.5 meters per second. What was the puck's velocity?

Question

During a hockey game, the puck slid from the center line directly to the goal line, which was 27meters away. It took the puck 1.8seconds to slide from the center line to the goal line. As the puck slid, it was chased by a hockey player skating at 9.5 meters per second. What was the puck's velocity?

Solution

The velocity of the puck can be calculated using the formula for velocity, which is distance divided by time.

Step 1: Identify the distance and time. In this case, the distance (d) the puck traveled is 27 meters and the time (t) it took is 1.8 seconds.

Step 2: Plug the distance and time into the velocity formula. So, velocity (v) = d/t.

Step 3: Calculate the velocity. v = 27m / 1.8s = 15 meters per second.

So, the puck's velocity was 15 meters per second.
