If you slide a hockey puck across a frictionless ice rink these must be a horizontal force on it too keep it in the motion?

F=ma constant speed would mean 'a' acceleration is zero thus force zero.
The puck would be in equilibrium, and the force would be zero at constant motion. Constant motion is constant velocity including the constant zero velocity.

If you slide a hockey puck across a frictionless ice rink is there a horizontal force on it to keep it in motion?
Once contact with the object that provided the force to initiate the motion, i.e. your hand or the hockey stick, there is no force tending to keep it in motion. The inertia of the puck in motion will resist any change in that motion, but inertia is a physical property not a force. From a free body diagram the only apparent force acting on the puck would be air resistance tending to slow it down.
Motion perpendicular to earth's surface is what kind of motion?
Motion Perpendicular to the ground is called horizontal motion.
What is the difference between horizontal and vertical motion?
Our jumping is a vertical motion, while walking is a horizontal motion. Exercises are done by both horizontal and vertical motion.
What is horizontal motion vertical motion?
Horizontal motion is motion that moves back and forth and vertical motion moves up and down.
How is the motion in the vertical direction affected by motion in the horizontal direction?
the horizontal motion and the vertical motion are independent of each other
Why horizontal motion is constant?
Horizontal motion is only constant when it is not being affected by any forces, e.g. the horizontal motion of a projectile after it's shot.
If a cart is observed moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal frictionless track is there a constant net force acting on it in the direction of motion?
No force is acting on it. Constant velocity means no acceleration, which means no force, from f=ma, no 'a' no force.
What are horizontal motion and vertical motion?
horizontal is side to side vertical is up and down
What type of motion describes the horizontal component of a projectile?
The type of motion that describes the horizontal component of a projectile is horizontal projectile motion. It is influenced by the downward force of gravity.
What is the motion parallel to the ground?
horizontal motion
Does a straight horizontal line indicate uniform motion?
no, a straight horizontal line doesn't indicates uniform motion
What will the motion of the plane be if it is flying in a horizontal line?
linear motion
