Question

newton’s second law: acceleration
question 7 of 7
if a hockey stick acts on a resting puck, what will happen?
the puck will remain inert and the hockey stick will accelerate
the puck will balance on the end of your hockey stick until you drop it
the hockey stick will not move the puck, but the puck will move the hockey stick
the hockey stick will change the speed of the puck and make it accelerate

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law ($F = ma$, where $F$ is force, $m$ is mass and $a$ is acceleration), when a hockey - stick exerts a force on a resting puck, a non - zero net force acts on the puck. This causes the puck to accelerate as force causes a change in the motion of an object at rest.

Answer:

The hockey stick will change the speed of the puck and make it accelerate
