On an air hockey table with the air turned on, the puck glides far without slowing because the surface is:

1. The puck's behaviour changes as soon as the air is switched on. 2. When the air is turned on, it creates a nearly frictionless surface. 3. The puck then glides long distances without slowing down. 4. That is Newton's first law made visible by removing the usual cause of slowing. _Source: OpenStax College Physics for AP(R) Courses 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 4 'Dynamics: Force and Newton's Laws of Motion', sections 4.1-4.8_
