Say you are jumping out a plane and you open out your parachute and all of a sudden you slow down that is because the parachute has a big surface area and lots of air-resistance can get inside and slows you down.
Answer:Many factors affect a hockey player. What they wear, the stick they use and the effects of air on the puck. Uniforms, sticks and the puck have been changed over time to reduce drag (air resistance) during the game. If they can move over a designated distance with less drag, they can be faster than their opponent. If the stick has less drag, it moves faster and hits the puck with more force. If the puck is more streamlined, it will travel faster and farther across the ice or through the air. More changes will be made in the future to deal with this problem.

Why is air hockey called air hockey?
The table is set up like a hockey rink and air comes from the bottom to help the disk move faster.
If a hockey puck is set in motion across a frozen pond if ice friction plus air resistance are neglected the force required to keep the puck sliding at a constant velocity is?
If you have eliminated all resistance then the initial force will be enough.
Why is Ice Hockey so important in Europe?
I played hockey most of my life. I am from the US but have close friends and family in Latvia. They travel two hours everyday to play hockey. Hockey is so important to most of Europe because it might be their only way out of a life that is not exactly easy to say the least.
Who invented the ice hockey neck guard?
do you really care i mean how important can this be
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.
