Question
Hockey puck A has half the mass of hockey
puck B. Starting from rest, both pucks are
pulled the same distance across frictionless
ice by strings with the same tension.
Compare the final velocities of puck A and
puck B.
O Puck A and puck B have the same final
velocity.
O Puck A has twice the velocity of puck B
O Puck A has half the velocity of Puck B
O Puck A has a larger velocity than puck B, but it
isn't twice the velocity
O Puck A has a smaller velocity than puck B, but
it isn't half the velocity
