Question
Swimming is possible on account of(A) First law of motion(B) second law of motion(C) Third law of motion(D) Newton's law of gravitation
Step 1
According to Newton's third law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, the water pushes the swimmer forward with an equal force. This is how a swimmer is able to move forward in water. Show more…
