Abstract:
Hockey is a game that requires a ton of physical and mental skill. This is due to the fact that everything is happening at such a fast rate, that you must be able to keep up with. Now while the players may not realize it, this is all happening due to the amazing world of physics. I will get more into it during the paper, but what you must know is that players are able to stay skating due to the friction created between the ice and the skates or the puck and the ice which allow for players to be able to maintain their momentum. Players need to be able to realize how much force to put on a shot or pass by considering how much the puck weighs and how much acceleration to hit the puck with, which then creates an inelastic collision. The slapshot is an important part of the game as it is able to confuse goaltenders due to the torque that is put on the puck when shooting. Also, while playing hockey, Newton’s 3 laws are all in full affect, whether its shooting the puck, the puck itself or just simply hitting into another player. I hope you enjoy my research and learn as much as I did about the amazing world of physics in the amazing world of hockey.

Hi Jordan, great presentation. It really interesting how projectile motion applies to both hockey and figure skating.
ReplyDeleteDearest Jordan, A wondrous presentation my man. I especially liked the graphics, and found the characteristics of the stick interesting. Theone fact I found most intriguing was that the slapshot is harder than the wristshot because of the more torque. Nice!
ReplyDeletehey!awesome project, I especially liked the part of how during a slapshot there is greater torque being put on the puck.
ReplyDeleteThis presentation was great in content and easy to understand. I found it interesting when you mentioned how pucks are frozen for reduced friction with the ice to make it easier for the players
ReplyDeleteWow! Who would've knew that hockey includes so many concepts of physics. I feel that I am now more knowledgeable on this topic. One of the things that I found interesting was that hockey pucks are frozen before a match to reduce the amount of friction on the ice! I also liked your explanations of Newton's Three Laws in hockey! It was very enlightening work.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great project! I enjoy watching hockey and I did not know a lot of these facts. The coolest fact for me was the one about freezing the hockey pucks to reduce the friction. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHockey really has so much physics hidden in it, next time I go to see one of your games ill have to keep physics in mind.
