A man falls on a cemented floor and a man falls on a heap of sand who will get more hurt & why?
Hi,
@ Priya, good effort!
@ Umang, Right answer. Keep writing!
When a man falls on a hard cemented floor his momentum reduced to zero in a very short time and hurt the man. Whereas when a man falls on a heap of sand. As sand can compress, it takes longer time for the man to hit the ground (or hard surface). Due to longer time, it reduces the man’s momentum gently and hence the man either will not get hurt or may get less injury.
Hope, it helps you all.
Best wishes!!
