An ice hockey player hits a puck on a horizontal ice rink from a position (-10, -15) m on the x, y plane into a goal at position (0, 0) m. The puck travels horizontally across the ice without rotating, remaining in contact with the ice and following a straight line into the goal.

I need the answer as soon as possible
An ice hockey player hits a puck on a
horizontal ice rink from a position (-10, -15) m
on the x, y plane into a goal at position (0, 0)
m. The puck travels horizontally across the ice
without rotating, remaining in contact with the
ice and following a straight line into the goal.
The coefficient of sliding friction between the
moving puck and the ice is 0.040. Assume
that air resistance is negligible.
(a) After it is hit and as it slides across the ice,
what is the magnitude of the moving puck's
acceleration as a result of friction?
