When you "push" your body out of the boat you also push the boat away from the dock.
The law simply put is: "For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction"

Why does a motorboat move facing upwards in a tilted position?
because the motor is in the back of the boat so it makes the boat in a tilted postion
What was the name of Hawkeye's cousin that pushed him out of the boat?

A boat with an anchor on board floats in a swimming pool that is somewhat wider than the boat does the water level in the pool move upward?
When the boat is first lowered gently onto the surface of the water, the surface level rises slightly, regardless of the boat's size, shape, or weight, or what it has on board. The boat floats because it has displaced an amount of water that weighs exactly as much as the boat does. That means it has pushed some water out of some volume that the boat now occupies. The water it pushed aside has to go somewhere, and the surface level in the pool must rise.
How does a boat operate?
The part of a boat that is under water has the same volume as the amount of water that weighs the same as the boat and everything in it. That is why a boat goes lower into the water whenever somebody boards. Propulsion is acheived by taking advantage of Newton's third law of motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. To move the boat in a certain direction, water is pushed in the opposite direction. Most boats use a propeller to push the water, but it can also be pushed by oars, a water wheel, a jet, etc.
What is the boat that is pushed along with a pole and found in Venice?
Gondolas.
Why does a boat wash off shore?
because the tide rise and particles of sand are washing away making the boat eventually move back into the water
Why when you jump from a boat the boat moves back as you move forward?
This is an example of Newton's Third Law. It can also be explained - equivalently - via conservation of momentum.
What is the bow of a boat?
The bow of a boat the front. The back is called the stern or aft.The bow of a boat is the front of a boat in its normal orientation for moving through the water. Bows are often pointed to make it easier for the boat to move forward.
When you row a boat on the pond why does the boat go forward when you are pulling the oars towards you?
When you row a boat on a pond, you are usually facing the back of the boat. Also, the oars are usually attached in the middle of the oar to the side of the boat. So if you pull the handle of the oar towards the front of the boat (towards you when rowing), the paddle of the oar is moving towards the back of the boat (the oar acts like a lever-arm). To move a boat forward, you actually have to move water backward! It's pushing water back that really moves the boat forward. So, when you pull the oar towards you, the paddle moves towards the back of the boat, and that pushes water towards the back of the boat, pushing the boat the opposite direction, which is forward! Just make sure to turn around once in a while because you're not looking where you are going!
Why do you move forward and a boat moves backward when you jump from a boat to a pier?
The boat goes back word because when you jump your tippy- toes are the only thing left on the boat, and then your feet push forward to do the rest, which makes the boat go backwards.
Explain why when you jump from a boat the boat moves back as you move forward?
This is an example of Newton's Third Law. It can also be explained - equivalently - via conservation of momentum.
