Question

the action of swimmers using their arms to propel themselves through the water is an example of what law?
clear all
law of conservation of angular momentum
law of conservation of linear momentum
newtons third law of motion
newtons first law of motion

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When swimmers use their arms to propel themselves through the water, they push water backward (action), and the water pushes them forward (reaction). The law of conservation of angular momentum and law of conservation of linear momentum are about conservation of momentum in rotational and linear motion respectively. Newton's first law is about an object's state of motion (rest or uniform motion) unless acted on by a force.

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion
