Newton's laws of motion

Challenge #27 in the Sevens series. Hosted by Dutch Newchurch.

Challenge has finished

This is the third in the series: ‘Seven Scientific Theories’. Imagine you have been asked to provide one or two creative and inspirational illustrations for a textbook, on Newton's laws of motion. A spacecraft in free fall (the first law)? A dragster burning rubber (the second law)? A heeling yacht (the third law)? An interceptor with flaming afterburners (the second or third law)? A cannon firing (the third or second law)? (The whole series is here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4236850 )

Paddling My Own Canoe

A rather complex example - the canoe does not sink because of the equal and opposite reaction of the water to the canoe and the man. It would remain at rest in the water but the force used by the man with the paddle moves the water and also the canoe through the water.
