An air hockey puck typically weighs between 1 and 2.5 ounces.
Yes, rough ice can slow down the speed of the puck in ice hockey as it creates more friction between the puck and the surface. This can affect the puck's ability to glide smoothly and decrease its speed and overall performance on the ice.

Hockey pucks are typically made from vulcanized rubber. The rubber is molded into a disk shape and then frozen to improve the durability and hardness of the puck. The final step involves adding a printed design or logo before packaging for sale.
If a net force of 5 N acts on a hockey puck, it will accelerate according to Newton's second law (F=ma), where F is the force, m is the mass of the puck, and a is the acceleration. The puck will move in the direction of the force, increasing its velocity over time as long as the force continues to act on it.
