    Answer: First shot

    Explanation:

    A) Distance of puck from goal during the first shot = 5m away

    Speed of puck during first shot = 10m/s

    Time taken to score = ?

    Since speed is the distance covered per unit time

    i. e speed = Distance / time taken

    Time taken = Distance / Speed

    Time taken = 5m / 10m/s

    = 0.5 seconds

    B) Distance of puck from goal during the second shot = 10m away

    Speed of puck during second shot = 40m/s

    Time taken to score = ?

    Recall that time taken = (Distance / Speed)

    Time taken = 10m / 40m/s

    = 0.25 seconds

    It will take 0.5 seconds for the first shot to score whereas it will takes 0.25 seconds for the second shot to score.

    Thus, the goalie have a better chance of blocking the first shot since it is slower than the second.
