Question

A dog that is soaking wet will typically shake its body rapidly to remove water from its fur. Which of the following is the best explanation for this

Answer 1

The dog shakes to get the water off of him and to get dry. These fast movements replicate when we drain the water out of our hair and when we blow dry our hair.

Answer 2

D. The force of shaking back and forth is the action and th force pushing the water from the dogs fur is the reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

When we see the wet dogs shaking, everything happens so fast that we have the impression that the animal's entire body is making movements that we can't quite understand. However, it is only their skin and hair that are really moving. The movement of the dog at that moment creates a stirring force that pushes water from the dog's skin and fur.

With that shake that is cute to see, in just 4 seconds wet dogs can get rid of about 70% of the water that is in their hair.
