Connor McDavid is working on his snapshot accuracy and during one particular shot, he is positioned a horizontal distance of 20 m from the net. The target he ends up hitting in the net is 0.7 m above the ice surface and when he makes the successful shot, the puck leaves his stick and the ice at an angle of 8° above the horizon. What is the initial speed (magnitude of resultant velocity) of the puck just as it leaves the stick or surface of the ice? During the shot, how long does it take for the puck to travel from the stick or ice to the raised target located in the net

Question

 Connor McDavid is working on his snapshot accuracy and during one particular shot, he is positioned a horizontal distance of 20 m from the net. The target he ends up hitting in the net is 0.7 m above the ice surface and when he makes the successful shot, the puck leaves his stick and the ice at an angle of 8° above the horizon.
What is the initial speed (magnitude of resultant velocity) of the puck just as it leaves the stick or surface of the ice?
During the shot, how long does it take for the puck to travel from the stick or ice to the raised target located in the net?
