Answer:

v = 26.54 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a hockey puck, m = 0.21 kg

The kinetic energy of the hockey puck, E= 74 J

We need to find the speed of the hockey puck. Let the speed is v. We know that, the kinetic energy is given by :

[tex]E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2[/tex]

Where

v is the speed

So,

[tex]v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 74}{0.21}} \\\\v=26.54\ m/s[/tex]

So, the speed of the hockey puck is 26.54 m/s.
