Question:

A shuffleboard player (▶ Figure 5.13) pushes a 0.25-kg puck that is initially at rest such that a constant horizontal force of 6.0 N acts on it through a distance of 0.50 m. (Neglect friction.) (a) What are the kinetic energy and the speed of the puck when the force is removed? (b) How much work would be required to bring the puck to rest?
THINKING IT THROUGH. Apply the work-energy theorem. If the amount of work done can be found, then this gives the change in kinetic energy. image text in transcribed
