Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. This law can be applied to the hockey puck sliding on ice as it will continue to slide in a straight line unless a force, such as friction or a collision, acts on it.
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. This law can be applied to the hockey puck as the force applied to it, such as a player hitting it with a stick, will cause it to accelerate. The mass of the puck will also determine the rate of acceleration.
Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law can be applied to the hockey puck as the force exerted on it by the ice, such as friction, will produce an equal and opposite reaction force on the ice from the puck.
