Question

a hockey puck slid across an ice rink in 6 seconds. it slid from the center line to the goal line in half of that time at 9 meters per second. what is the distance that the puck slid between the two lines? write your answer as a whole number. meters

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the time of sliding

The time taken to slide from the center - line to the goal line is half of 6 seconds. So, $t=\frac{6}{2}=3$ seconds.

Step2: Calculate the distance

We use the formula $d = v\times t$, where $v = 9$ m/s and $t = 3$ s. So, $d=9\times3 = 27$ meters.

Answer:

27
