Question

A diver dives off of a raft - what happens to the diver? The raft? How does this relate to Newton's Third Law?

Action Force:

Reaction Force:

Answer 1

Reaction Force!!

Step-by-step explanation:

The diver moves “forward" and dives into the water. The raft moves "backwards” in the water because of the reaction force. The action force is the diver pushing off of the raft, and the reaction force is the raft pushing back on the diver (causing the diver to go forward and into the water).

Hope this helps you!!!
