A hockey ball at rest is hit by a stick, such that the force acts on the ball for 0.15 s. If the ball is of mass 100 g and covers a distance of 100 m in 2 seconds, find the magnitude of the force applied by the hockey stick. Assume no friction is acting on the ball while rolling on the ground?
Step1: Given Data:
Distance covered by the ball, when no frictional force is acting on it = 100 m
Initial velocity (u) = 0
Final velocity(v) = 50 m/s
Time(t) = 0.15 s
Step2: Calculation of force:
