click and drag on elements in order
place the steps in order to explain how air pushes an airboat forward.
instructions
the force pushes the airboat forward.
the fan pushes air backward.
the fan on the airboat spins.
air exerts an equal force forward on the fan.

Explanation:

This sequence follows Newton's Third Law of Motion. First, the airboat's fan activates and spins. The spinning fan applies a backward force to the surrounding air. By Newton's Third Law, the air exerts an equal and opposite forward force on the fan. This transferred force ultimately propels the airboat forward.

Answer:

1. The fan on the airboat spins.
2. The fan pushes air backward.
3. Air exerts an equal force forward on the fan.
4. The force pushes the airboat forward.
