Why is it more comfortable to fall onto a big pillow than onto a wooden floor ?

a. the pillow transfers less impulse from you.

b. the wold exerts more force in total

c. the pillow distributes the decelerating force over a greater amount of time .

d. the pillow takes less of your momentum

e. it is just a subjective impression

I believe the answer to this question is C. The pillow distributes the decelerating force over a greater amount of time .

sudden stops are damaging, not the fall itself.

When falling on a mat it will take longer since a smaller force=longer falling time

when falling on a wooden floor it will take shorter since a larger force=smaller falling time

Hence, if the sudden fall is what causes impact and discomfort, and a smaller force equals longer falling time, and a larger force equals shorter falling time and smaller falling time equals less impact, then, C. must be the answer.

the electric field is a “force field” around a charged object that illustrates the direction the electric force would push an imaginary
