Question

stacy is rowing a boat. she wants the boat to move forward. according to newtons third law, in which direction should she move her paddle in the water? east above her head forward backwards

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When Stacy wants the boat to move forward, she needs to exert a force on the water in the opposite direction (backwards). According to the law, the water will then exert an equal and opposite force (forward) on the paddle and thus on the boat.

Answer:

Backwards
