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.

A friend tells you that a rowboat is propelled forward by the force of its oars against the water First explain wheather the statement is correct and then identify the action and reaction and reac?
He is incorrect. Newton's 3rd law states that any force has an equal and opposite force. This means he pushes back on the water with the oars (normal), and this creates a forward normal force on the oars pushing the oars and the boat forward.
What is the term for disturbed water left behind as a boat moves through water?
It is known as the wake of the boat.
What is the term for the distributed water left behind as a boat moves through the water?
Wake
What is the term of the disturbed water left behind as a boat moves through the water?
Wake
A speed boat moves at 35 knots and an auto moves at 35 statute miles per hour convert the speed boat's velocity to statute miles per hour and the auto velocity to knots?
35 knots = 40.28 mph 35 mph = 30.41 knots
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.

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!
How can you use the words cause and effect to explain the 3rd newton law?
When you push the boat at the back, you get pushed forward. This is cause and effect to explain 3rd Newton law.
Why the boats usually have pointed bows?
A boat has a pointed bow to reduce the resistance of the water as the boat moves forward.
Why does the boat moves forward when a man pushes the paddle backward?
because every action has an oppersite reactione.g.man pulls paddle backwardsoppersite reaction, man (in the boat) gets pushedforwards (with boat)
When you step out of a boat onto a dock the boat moves. Why?
Newtons 3rd law. Every action has and equal and opposite reaction. The energy you apply with your legs that moves you out of the boat and on to the dock, pushes back on the boat with an equal force.

What is a forward on a boat?
Its the forward part of the boat
What is called back of the boat?
The back of the boat or ship is called the stern. Also, when facing forward, the right is starboard, the left is port, the front it the bow.
