sooo this is the last week of paddling and we have two more races. my friends mom has been taking a lot of pictures at our races. when we paddle, we're pushing the water back with our paddle making our boat go forward. this relates to newton's 3rd law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. also right before we start a race, our boat is at rest and has a lot of inertia. because it resists change in motion, we have to put a lot of force through the water with our paddle to get the boat moving and accelerating.
