Question

How does Newton’s third law apply to a fish swimming through water?(1 point)

A fish pushes water backwards with its fins is the action. The water pushing the fish forward is the reaction.

The fish’s fins wiggle to create a force that propels the fish forward.

The fish swallows water. When the fish spits out the water, the force of the water moves the fish.

The water pushes against the fish’s body.

Answer 1

A fish swimming through water demonstrates Newton's third law by the action of pushing water backwards with its fins. The equal and opposite reaction to this action is the water pushing the fish forward, propelling it through the water.
