Question

The principle used in swimming is Newton's third law of motion.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Newton's third law of motion:

1. It states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
2. When a person swims, he pushes the water backward and the water, in turn, pushes the person with an equal force in the forward direction.
3. When he pushes the water backward, it is the action and the water, in turn, pushes the person, it is the reaction in swimming.

Hence, the statement is true.
