The force needed to keep the puck sliding at constant velocity is 0N

Explanation:

Since the ice friction and air resistance are neglected, the force needed to keep the puck sliding at constant velocity is 0N.

The acceleration due to gravity (g) will be zero since there is no ice friction and air resistance taken into consideration, and therefore,

F = m*g = m*0 = 0N
