Answer:
1026 N
Explanation:
We can calculate the force required by using Newton's second law:
[tex]F=ma[/tex]
where
F is the force applied
m is the mass of the hockey puck
a is the acceleration
In this problem, the mass is m=1.04 kg, while the acceleration is [tex]a=987 m/s^2[/tex], therefore the force required is
[tex]F=ma=(1.04 kg)(987 m/s^2)=1026 N[/tex]
