Question

In case the sailor jumps forward, the boat moves backwards, is this due to Newton's ____? A) The first law of motion, B) The second law of motion, C) The third law of motion, the omnipresent of gravity Answer send me​

Answer 1

It is based on Newton's third law of motion. When the sailor jumps down the boat, he applies pressure on the boat with the feet. The greater the pressure is the boat moves backward with equal force but in opposite direction. Pressure applied is the action whereas the movement of boat is the reaction.
