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?
A.Law of Inertia
B.Newton's Second Law of Motion Newton's
C.Third Law of Motion
D.Newton's First Law of Motion

Answer 1

I would say it is Newton's Third Law of Motion. It states that for every action made, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The action would be when you row, the opposite reaction would be the water moving you forward.
