Question

A thief jumps from the top of a house with a box of weight 25kgwt on his head.what will be the weight of the box experienced by the thief during his downward fall? Justify your answer

Answer 1

During free fall, every object feels weightlessness. There will be no contact force between the box and the thief. Hence the thief will not experience any weight due to box during the free fall.

But once the thief lands on the ground with the box on his head, the force due to the box will be so high that it could kill the thief.
