SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Water should be pushed backward with oars because every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The more force you will apply to the water backward, the boat will move forward with an equal force.

Detailed explanation-2: -This is because the oars form an action-reaction pair with the water. When we row by pulling the oars, the oars exert a backward force onto the water. According to the law of interaction, the water must then exert an equal amount of force but in the forward direction. As a result, our rowboat propels forward.

Detailed explanation-3: -opposite reaction. In your boat, your paddler will push his/her paddle into the water. The water pushes back against the blade and propels the boat forward. The force – the speed of your boat – depends on how hard your paddler is pushing against the water!
