A hockey puck can travel a far as any object if thrown with enough force! It is solid rubber so it can withstand tremendous force.
More pertinent to the game of hockey, the rink is roughly 200 feet long and a reasonably strong player can shoot the puck that distance (and hit the far boards with force). Accuracy suffers with the longer shot but hitting an open net (6' x 4') is relatively easy, as proven by million dollar intermission winners!

∙ 11y agoWell to be honest, I was thinking of doing this for a science fair project and tested that, When the puck is cool it go's allot farther. A warmer Puck will tend to bounce because when its heated the coils inside unravel which makes it bounce. That's why, before a game they freeze the puck.

What effects how far the soccer ball travels when kicked?
Primarily the direction of movement, the spin on the ball and the movement of the surrounding air (wind). The effect is called the "Magnus Effect" (google that to get more details).
Does weight effect how far an object travels?
in simple terms yes it does effect how far an object travels but it depends how it is traveling what gravity its traveling in and so on.
How far will a soccer ball travel in 2 seconds?
Depends on the speed the ball travels.
Does the angle that an arrow is shot effect how far it travels?
Yes.
Ways to test if the size of a ball has a effect on how far it goes?
Yes , the affect of the ball does matter of how far it goes.
How does the temperature of a soccer ball affect how far you can kick it?
Yes it does affect it cold does not go as far as a heated ball
How does the air pressure of a soccer ball effect how far it travels when kicked?
Possible effects of temperature on soccer ball. 1. Raising temperature will increase the pressure within the ball making the ball more rigid. This ball should rebound off of the foot more readily. [With a higher speed!] 2. Raising air temperature will tend to dry out the air. Dry air would tend to generate less air friction. 3. Increasing air temperature would increase the volume of the air within the ball. If the ball has a greater volume it will have to push more air out of the way, thus increasing the frictional force acting on the ball. 4. If the volume of the ball increases, its buoyancy would also increase giving the ball more "lift".
Does the mass of a soccer ball effect how far it goes when you kick it?
yes
Does the weight of a baseball bat determine how far the ball will travel?
No, it has no effect.
What factors determine how far a baseball travels when hit?
There are several factors that determine how far a baseball travels when hit. The main factor is the force that the bat hits the ball with as well as the speed of swinging the bat among others.
Does the temperature of a ball affect the distance traveled?
well...according to my scientific calculations the colder the ball is the harder it will be, this makes it difficult to travel far. Although, the outside temperature of the ball does not affect the inside temperature. This means looks can be decieving.
Would the weight of a baseball bat effect how far the ball gos?
Yes
