Blog post 2 – free body diagram!

I want to find out the relationship between the amount of force projected onto the stick and the force emmited onto the puck.

 

Diagrams:

Diagram 1: ignoring elastic energy

Diagram 2: elastic force included

-Ignoring air resistance.

-Mechanics within the body will be ignored.

Equipment:

Hockey stick,

Ice rink (or alternatively, artificial ice),

slow-motion camera,

tape measurer,

Procedure:

-Measure distance from area which the shot will be conducted,

-Position camera where entire field of experiment is visible,

-Begin recording then shoot puck from set distance,

-Repeat 3 times and find the average between all valid attempts,
