1.	If someone jumps to the shore from a boat, the boat moves away in opposite direction. Explain why?
Answer» When a man jumps from a boat to the shore, he pushes the boat behind with his leg (action) and the boat pushes (reaction) the man in the opposite direction. Because of this, the man moves towards the shore and the boat moves away in the opposite direction. Therefore the boats are tied to the bank with a rope.
