The scenario you described, where a hockey puck slides on ice, is best related to a) Newton's First Law of Motion. This law states that an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force. The hockey puck continues to slide on the ice due to its inertia until friction or another force stops it.
Name that Newtonian law.
