Problem

0.20\,\text{kg}

hockey puck is initially at rest on frictionless ice. It is struck by a stick so that the net horizontal force rises linearly from zero to a peak value

F_{\text{peak}}

5.0\times10^{-2}\,\text{s}

and then falls linearly back to zero in the next

5.0\times10^{-2}\,\text{s}

. Immediately after the force pulse ends, the puck slides at

3.0\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1}

. What is

F_{\text{peak}}

? a)

30\,\text{N}

12\,\text{N}

6.0\,\text{N}

24\,\text{N}
