Hockey Physics
What is power?
Power is the amount of work put into something over time. P=W/T. In hockey, when preforming a slap shot it benefits you if you put more work into the smaller amount of time because that generates more power. You can calculate the power of slapshot if you know the amount of work and time put into it.
One example of power relating to hockey is when a hockey player rams into another player, transferring their energy from themselves, to the other player, resulting in them being knocked down. The faster the two collide, the more power that is involved.
Secondly, if you put more power into the puck the faster the puck will glide across the ice. The less time put into the puck but with more work, the more power you will be putting into it.
Datsyuk was preforming a slapshot and he put 154 joules of work into the slapshot in .20 seconds , how much power was put into the slapshot?
154/.20 = 7700 Joueles/sec
A player from the Red Wings checks into a player from the Blackhawks . He put 88 joules of work into the hit in about .50 seconds,how much power was put into the hockey player ramming into the other?
88/.50= 176 joules/sec
