You are in a canoe and just a few feet from shore. Imagine that you are facing the shore and that the lake is calm. Unfortunately, the paddle that you were using breaks into small pieces and you are left holding one piece in your hand while the rest of the pieces sink. Your friend suggest throwing the paddle forward towards the shore saying that it will cause a force to act on the canoe giving it the necessary acceleration to move forward and you could reach the shore. Do you agree with your friend? Explain the reasoning
