Question

A rower in a boat pushes the water backward using an oar.

What direction will the rower and the boat move?

O Backward, because objects interact by exerting forces on each other in the same direction.

O The water does not exert any force on the rower or the boat because the rower is doing the pushing.

O Forward, because action-reaction forces are directed in opposite directions.

OIt is impossible to say unless you know whether the rower is accelerating or not.

Answer 1

Answer:O Forward, because action-reaction forces are directed in opposite directions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Oar pushes back on water, water pushes forward on the oar, causing the boat to move forward. This is a Newton's 3rd Law action-reaction pair of forces
