Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This scenario represents Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object at rest/motion will remain at rest/motion with constant velocity unless acted upon by an outside force. The puck maintains its constant velocity until it encounters an outside force (such as friction with the boards or a stick), causing it to change direction or stop.
