When you row a boat on the pond why does the boat go forward when you are pulling the oars towards you?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When you pull the oars towards you while rowing a boat on a pond, you create a force that propels the boat forward due to the conservation of momentum principle. The action of pulling the oars generates a backward force on the water, causing the water to push the boat forward. This phenomenon is based on Newton's Third Law of motion.

Who invented the twinkie?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Probably a very fat person. This is because many people who eat fried food, tend to be larger than others. Although, fried food is very good, it is very unhealthy for you. It is not recommended that you eat this fried food... Especially fried twinkies. Fried twinkies are made for people that like to enjoy very unhealthy foods.

Therefore, with the understanding that fried twinkies are extremely unhealthy for a person, this question is no longer relevant. Thank you for reading this very long and stupid answer that I have typed so dearly.

When you row a boat on the pond why does the boat go forward when you are pulling the oars back toward you?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Newton's laws are essential to understand. When you apply force through your ores you are getting an equal response. Therefore it's like you using the water to throw your weight in the direction of need being.

Another example would be if you're in space. There is nothing to grasp to apply force, therefore the force is not created. Waving your arms in space isn't going to allow you to move unless you have something to throw. If you throw the object in the opposite direction of where you want to go.. the force will be applied equally back therefor causing you to move.
