A hockey puck with a mass of 0.16 kg is sitting at rest on a frozen pond. Suddenly, the wind begins to blow, accelerating the puck across the ice at 625 m/s2. If friction is ignored, the force of the wind can be calculated to be _______.

A625.16 N
B100 N
C3,906 N
D0.000256 N

the answer is B 100n

The force on any object is the push or pull to stop or move the object. The force of the wind can be calculated to be 100 N. The correct option is B.

What is Newton's second law of motion?

Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied is the product of mass and acceleration.

Force  F = m  x a

Given is the mass of hockey puck 0.16kg, acceleration of wind is 625 m/s².

Substitute the value to get the force of wind.

F = 0.16 x 625

F = 100 Newton

Thus, the force of the wind calculated to be 100 N. The correct option is B.
