If you were in a canoe on a calm lake and you threw a heavy stone into the water in front of you what would the canoe do 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

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.

b.

explanation:

the entire statement is true and correct.  

there's no diagram, nothing is illustrated, and no question is asked.
