There is finally peace between the robots and the remaining
humans of Earth. To celebrate that
peace, the Midland Warriors Women’s Hockey Team is playing
against the Bad Robot Consolidated
Hyper-Conglomerate. Being unfairly powered by plutonium core
generators and multi-core AI, the robots win the face-off by having
their player power hit the puck between all other players toward
the Warriors’ goal on frictionless ice.
(a) Is the work done on the robot’s stick by the puck
positive, negative, or zero?
(b) Suppose the robot hits the 160 g puck with 28.2 kW of
power over the course of
9.00 ms. How much work is done on the puck?
(c) The puck is hit in a straight line toward the net with a
velocity of 150 mph. With
what force did the robot hit the puck?
