To move a boat ahead in water why the boatman pushes the water backward. explain
Answers
Answer:
A boatman pushes the water backward so as to move his boat forward due to Newton's third law of motion i.e. to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. when the boatman pushes against the water the water exerts a reaction force and thus the boat moves forward.

Explanation:
Behind the reason of sailing of boats we get the provement of the Newton's third law or of the action-reaction force. That is while we apply force on an object then we get back same an equal amount of force but in the opposite direction of the applied force. While the boatman in applying force to the water in a backward direction then the water is applying the reaction force in the opposite direction of the action force or in the forward direction of the boat and that's why the boat is moving forward. Not only in case of sailing boat but, in case of swimming, steamer and exertion of rocket too we can observe the use of action-reaction force.
