what is the outside unbalanced force that causes a hockey puck to eventually stop sliding on ice?

friction, caused by gravity pushing it down on the ice, and also air resitance which would only be imprant with no friction, and also, to be super technical and dont really say this unless you want to look like a jerk , blackbody radiation which means all matter with energy radiates some of its energy all the time.

Think of it like this, if you have a car on ice, there is no friction. The wheels will spin, but the car won't go anywhere. If you have a car on pavement, the wheels spin and the car moves. This is  because the friction where the wheel is touching the pavement doesn't move. Instead,the wheel to rotates and the next part of the wheel touches the pavement and 'doesn't move'.\n\nHope that makes sense. I was never all that good with physics.

Ya like that guy said, also like the golf ball is dimpled to cut throught the air easier, the puck travels a more true path.

Given a rotating hub or wheel all the centrifugal forces are along the radii from every point on the hub to the center. Because of circular symmetry, all the these forces will cancel; one pointing up is cancelled by one pointing down. Therefore the net external force is zero; there is no way the linear motion is influenced.

My guess is that, compared to other sports that hockey is very similar to (like field hockey and soccer) which use only two periods, hockey required more upkeep of the playing surface. Two periods of thirty minutes would have the ice surface pretty unplayable by the end of the period.

In brief.... friction.\n\nBasically, there is friction at the hub of the wheel which is acting as a force that slows down the wheel. In addition, there is also friction between the wheel and the air surrounding it (often called wind resistance). The two forces will eventually stop the wheel.

Hi: Something less than 95 mph as force has been \n exerted in a direction somewhat against the direction of the pitch.  Ken

40N on a frictionless surface would accelerate 5 kg at 8 m/s² (F = ma) so there must be a total  of only 6.666N acting on the ice. That means that a frictional force of 3.333N is acting in the opposite direction.  Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is calculated as the frictional force divided by the normal force, it must be\nFk = 3.333/5*9.8 = 3.333/49 = .068\n\n\nDoug

Hockey's origins are indeterminate. Indeed, the very definition of the game is at debate. Some observers accept as hockey any pastime where participants on skates use a club, or other wooden implement, to knock a ball or some such propellant about. Others say an activity cannot be recognized as hockey unless it is a contest between teams and conducted under an accepted set of rules.\n\n\nHunters in the Snow, by Pietr Bruegel (the elder), circa 1565\nCopyright/Source\n   \nAmusements bearing some resemblance to hockey are known to have taken place in Europe as early as the sixteenth century, or even earlier. For example, a painting by Pietr Bruegel (the elder) entitled "Hunters in the Snow" (circa 1565), depicts skaters carrying curved sticks. One of these figures is about to bring his stick in contact with a small object on the ice.\n\nThe earliest skate blades were fashioned from animal bones, but it is known from the journals of Olaus Magnus, the last Catholic Archbishop of Sweden, that polished iron blades were used in the Gulf of Bothnia area in the 1500s.\n\nSome hockey history enthusiasts trace the game's beginning to Mesopotamia, in the third millennium B.C. These historians point to Tablet XII of the Gilgamesh epic (an ancient text from the area that is now Iraq) that shows men employing curved sticks to manipulate a wooden ring over a dirt surface.\n\nRegardless of what these stalwarts along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers or those on the lakes of northern Europe were actually doing, there is no evidence to suggest a progression of their play to a form that can be accepted as structured sport.\n\nResearch points to North America as the region where the idea of a contest on ice took hold and led to the sport we know today. Incarnations of the game are said to have occurred in New York and Newfoundland as early as the late eighteenth century. In recent years, the name of Windsor, Nova Scotia, has come to the forefront as hockey's birthplace. Proponents point to a passage in Thomas Chandler Haliburton's 1843 novel, The Attaché; or Sam Slick in England, as evidence. Sam, a fast-talking Connecticut Yankee, mocks the reminiscences he imagines his traveling companion will have of his childhood at King's Collegiate in Windsor, including "hurly on the long pond on the ice." Critics do not accept this passage as satisfactory evidence, noting that the source in question is a work of fiction. However Windsor's backers argue that the novel is largely autobiographical and that the "hurly" referred to is a direct recollection by Haliburton of what he knew as a youth around 1810.\n\nAnother Maritime entrant in the origins contest is Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Advocates base their argument on an array of events, innovations and developments that sets their claim apart from those of rivals. They note that primitive forms of the game were played on Dartmouth lakes and ponds as early as 1827. The Acadian Magazine in January of that year, for example, contains a poem including the lines: "Now at ricket with hurlies some dozens of boys/ Chase the ball o'er ice with a deafening noise." A newspaper report in February 1867 tells of "a match game called hockey, i.e. ricket" being contested by officers of the Garrison and the Fleet at Oathill Lake. As well, notes the Dartmouth claim, that city was the home of the Starr Manufacturing Company, Canada's earliest producer of ice skates.\n\nFor years, the city of Kingston, Ontario, enjoyed the title of hockey's birthplace. This resulted from a report of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association in 1942, which said that soldiers of the Royal Canadian Rifles played hockey on the harbour ice in 1855. The evidence has subsequently proved suspect and Kingston authorities themselves have rejected the claim, asserting that the game was not introduced there until 1886.\n\n  \nPage from Sir John Franklin's journals and corr

I think what you're thinking of is the depth of the grind - otherwise known as "Radius of Hollow" (or ROH). The deeper the hollow, the more grab you'll have on the ice.  The shallower, the easier it will be to glide.  ROH is typically anywhere from 1/2" to 5/16", but most shops I know of grind at 3/8"

friction bad---- it is bad if you want to go ice skating friction will cause you stick and not be able to smoothly glide accross the ice\n\nfriction good- if you were at the top of a mountain at a 45 degree angle and the only thing keeping you there is the soles of your trainers and thefirm rugid edge of the mountain

It's not an official stat anymore.  There will be a stats geek somewhere that keeps it though, Try the hockey news they are usually good at keeping things like that.

The goaltender can handle the puck anywhere between the goal line and center ice, but is limited to the trapezoid when handling the puck behind the net.  This rule was put in place to limit goalies such as Brodeur and Turco from stopping the puck in the corner and clearing it out of the zone, to increase the amount of time the puck was handled inside the zone.

Friction mainly affects surfing by making it possible for you to stand on the board. That's the only way I can think of off the top of my head.

What the Puck! wear a helmet even if your own the bench, and no yellow ice please, enjoy
