A- the canoe would move backward a bit

B- the canoe would move forward a bit

C- the canoe would move forward and keep going

D- the canoe would not move because it is too heavy

Respuesta :

Answer: Option A: The canoe would move backward a bit.

Explanation:

Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction. This means when you threw a heavy stone in front of you, you applied a force. Equal and opposite force acted on the canoe and it moved backward a bit.

Hence, according to Newton's third law of motion, when you throw a heavy stone forward, and equal amount of force will push the canoe backwards.
