Question

kianna and ramon are playing air hockey. mid game, the air hockey table turned off and the puck gradually slowed down and stopped after moving 10 cm. why did the puck stop moving? the puck ran out of force. the air hockey table exerts a force that is opposite to the pucks motion the hockey table absorbs the force from the puck. all objects stop moving because their natural state is to be still

Explanation:

According to Newton's first - law, an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. When the air - hockey table is turned off, the air cushion that reduces friction is no longer present. The surface of the air - hockey table then exerts a frictional force on the puck, which acts in the opposite direction of the puck's motion, causing it to slow down and stop.

Answer:

The air hockey table exerts a force that is opposite to the puck's motion
