Yes a cold dry puck will slide much better than a wet puck. If your puck is held in your hand and becomes warm, the puck will stick...
The friction between the rubber and the ice is very low. Usually the puck has had ice one it that melted and has some water on it as well, which helps move it along.
so that the hockey puck can slide once been hit.
The temperature of any object does not change its weight. This is discussed in the ccientific principle called the "Law of Conservation of Mass". The puck will be harder and slightly smaller when frozen.
They freeze the pucks so that it can slide better.
Yes, because it helps the puck slide better on the ice.
No. It was actually a tennis ball. The first "puck" was a ball with the top and bottom chopped off.
a puck
A hockey puck
THE PUCK, you play hockey to get the puck.
If it weren't for friction, the hockey puck would have slid forever on the huge frozen pond.
On the ice, a hockey puck is pushing against much less surface friction, so it will slide with relative ease. On the street, a puck is forced to push against the pavement which it cannot do very well causing it to either stop or bounce across the surface.
1, when it frozen it obserbe the impact so it reduces the bounce affect. It's Newtons 3rd Law.
Means when the puck is frozen to travel faster
