When you are paddling a canoe, you push the water backwards with your paddle, which in turn will push you forward. Which law of motion is being described in this scenario?

Respuesta :

Newton's 3rd law: every action has an equal and opposite reaction

Answer:

Third law of motion.

Explanation:

When you are paddling a canoe, you push the water backwards with your paddle, which in turn will push you forward. Third law of motion is described in this scenario which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Pushing the water backwards is the action force while when we move forward is the reaction force. Both forces are equal but acting in different direction.
