This makes the game faster and more exciting. Friction is the force that occurs when two surfaces are in contact with each other. It slows down or even stops objects that are moving. There are two types of friction associated with Air Hockey. They are static and kinetic frictions.
Static friction applies to friction between surfaces when the object is at rest.
Kinetic friction has to do with the friction between surfaces while the object is in motion. Either way, because the puck is floating on a thin layer of AIR, friction is not counted for. It is also a lesson in physics. Not only can one find recreational enjoyment, but one can definitely seek out the different applications of physics in Air Hockey . Sir Isaac Newton certainly helped us to understand the dynamics of how Air Hockey works.
