What is the inertia of ice hockey?

Answer 1

Inertia can either have to do with the movement of the player or movement of the puck. When someone makes a pass through the air, the puck will only stop because of the player's stick or because it hits the boards. ***If someone were to shoot a puck in zero-gravity, the puck would continue to move for eternity because there is nothing to stop it. When the player is moving, they will only stop moving because they stopped (either because of the ice or because they physically stopped) or because, like the puck, they hit the boards. Also like the puck, if someone were skating in zero gravity, they would continue to move for eternity because there is nothing to stop them.

Hope this helped
