Question

The scientific reason behind swimming
​

Answer 1

$\huge\underline{\underline{\purple{\mathcal{Answer↡}}}}$

Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Thus, swimmers must stroke downward in the water to stay afloat and propel forward. This movement is equal and opposite to the force the water exerts against the swimmer to stop them from moving.

Answer 2

Answer:

Swimming relies on the nearly neutral buoyancy of the human body. On average, the body has a relative density of 0.98 compared to water, which causes the body to float. However, buoyancy varies on the basis of body composition, lung inflation, and the salinity of the water. Higher levels of body fat and saltier water both lower the relative density of the body and increase its buoyancy.Since the human body is very slightly less dense than water, water supports the weight of the body during swimming. As a result, swimming is “low-impact” compared to land activities such as running. The density and viscosity of water also create resistance for objects moving through the water. Swimming strokes use this resistance to create propulsion, but this same resistance also generates drag on the body.
