You have lost the paddles for the canoe you rented, and the canoe has drifted to the center of a pond. you need to get it back to the shore, but you don't want to get wet by swimming in the pond. your friend suggests that you drop rocks behind the canoe to create waves that will push the canoe toward the shore. will this solution work? why or why not?

This solution will work, because the amount of rocks and the size of the rocks also depend on how much farther you will move, although once you start to build up a little bit of inertia it will become easier.

Hope this helps!
