Problem
A person standing in a small boat throws a 3kg stone straight forward into the water.
(i) While the stone is in contact with the person’s hand, write the action–reaction force pair between the hand and the stone.
(ii) After the stone leaves the hand, the boat is observed to move backward slightly. Identify the action–reaction pair responsible for this motion.
(iii) List one more distinct action–reaction force pair present during this entire event, clearly naming the two bodies involved.
