Answer 1

newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

in this case , when the man jumps out of the boat, it exerts force on the boat. this is the action.

as a reaction, the boat exerts an equal force on the man. thus, the boat moves backward and we are able to move forward.
