How does inertia affect the motion of a hockey puck?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. In the case of a hockey puck, its inertia will determine how difficult it is to start or stop its motion, as well as how it will maintain its speed and direction once it is in motion. This makes it important for players to apply the right amount of force to overcome the puck's inertia and control its movement effectively on the ice.
