AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the average force exerted by a puck on a hockey goalie when the puck, weighing 0.15 kg and traveling at 59 m/s, is caught in 0.0021 seconds. The calculated average force is 4214.029 N, which is confirmed as correct. Participants emphasize the importance of rounding to significant digits and providing a clear explanation of the calculation process for better assistance. The advice highlights that sharing the method used to arrive at an answer can facilitate quicker help. Overall, the conversation underscores the significance of clarity and precision in problem-solving.

A hockey goalie m=85kg stands in front of the net. A player hits the 0.15kg puck towards the goalie with a velocity of +59m/s. The goalie catches the puck with his glove in a time of 0.0021seconds. (assume all collisions are linear)

A) what is the average force of the puck on the goalie?

I got the answer to be 4214.029N is this correct
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Yes, that's correct. Two comments:
(1) Round off to a reasonable number of significant digits.
(2) To get the best help in the quickest time, never just give an answer, always show how you got the answer.
 
Alright sorry about that and thanks a lot I appreciate the advice
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
