Question:
Why does a child feel more pain when falls down on a hard cement floor, than when she falls on the soft muddy ground in the garden?
Solution:
When a child falls on a hard cement floor, the child feels more pain than when the child falls on the soft muddy ground in the garden because the time taken by the child
to stop is very small on the cemented ground whereas, on the soft muddy ground, the time taken is more. When the time taken to stop is more, the acceleration is
decreased resulting in reduced force.
