A hockey puck is coming towards a hockey player at a velocity of 13 m/s [E]. The player hits the puck with her hockey stick, and the puck leaves her stick with a velocity of 17 m/s [W]. The puck was in contact with the stick for 0.7 s. What was the magnitude of the acceleration of the puck, in m/s? Hint: The magnitude of a vector quantity is simply the value without a direction. Note that the magnitude of a vector is always non-negative (either zero or positive). Attach your work for full marks. Answers within 3% of the true answer will be considered correct.
