Newton's third law, again it says that every action has an equal and opposite reaction and hence the boat moves away from the seashore

when he stop the ball by catching it. he tries to stop the ball momentum with some force which is opposite in the direction of the ball. The ball in reaction applies force in opposite direction and moves him in to the lake. Just like a moving ball strikes a ball at rest and the at rest moves with the kinetic energy it transfers to the ball at rest. I think it simple a case of kinetic energy transfer.However it can also be explained equally by third law and even by first law.

for every action, therir is a rection, at the same magnitude and oppisite direction

i do not remeber which one was that law

c.
the law of action and response. the same force she act on the ball, the ball act on her, and thus she moves away from poor Philli, who has to see his beloved keep moving away.
