Question

Explain why it is possible for a small animal to fall from a considerable height without any injury being caused when it reaches the ground.

✓

Answer

It is possible for a small animal to fall from a considerable height without being injured because a small animal has small mass, so the momentum produced is less. When the small animal falls to the ground with less momentum, less opposing force of ground acts on it and hence no injury is caused to it.
