Consider the following statement: When jumping from some height, you should bend your knees as you come to rest instead of keeping your legs stiff. Which of the following relations can be useful in explaining the statement?
Correct answer: C. Option C
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
The following is the solution: By doing so, Time of change in momentum increases and impulsive force on knees decreases.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.

Three blocks of masses m1, m2, and m3 are connected by massless strings as shown in the figure on a frictionless table. If m1= 10 kg, m2= 6 kg, and m3= 4 kg, the total force acting on the system is 40N, then the tension T2 will be:
When 1 N force acts on 1 kg body that is able to move freely, the body receives:
