plz help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1?

Question

What are the action and reaction forces acting when someone jumps from a canoe to a riverbank?? Explain why the jumper often falls into the rive??????

Answer 1

When a person jumps they direct created energy into the ground, a stable surface. Since the ground won't move the energy propels the person in the opposite direction. Again since the ground is stable the direction can be influenced by our position to propel the reaction.

Assuming the canoe you speak of is floating, some of the energy is lost in moving the canoe and the round bottom allow change in direction of the reacting force. So you have less propulsion with erratic direction of motion. The result can easily result in wetting.

If the canoe is on the bank, not floating. the reaction is better in distance but still unstable in direction if the canoe moves.

Answer 2

lol, that person who do this will be stupid enough.

When you jump from a canoe to a riverbank, actually you are kicking off the canoe to the back and you will not going forward, means you actually jumping at the original position and the canoe move back and you will disappear from the river. Newton third law of motion.
