What happens to energy and matter when rowing a boat?
When rowing a boat, the rower converts chemical energy from their body into mechanical energy to propel the boat forward. As the oars move through the water, they displace water molecules, transferring some of their kinetic energy to the water. Some energy is also lost as heat due to friction between the oars and the water. Overall, energy is conserved, but some of it is dissipated in the form of heat.
