Q- A child (20 kg) is lying on his hospital bed with the side railings down. The patient turns sideways and starts to fall off his bed, which is 1.2 m tall. The healthcare professional sees the patient falling and attempts to break the fall by throwing a pillow on the floor directly below the child. If it took 0.3 s to get the pillow in place, will the pillow cushion the child’s fall before he hits the floor? (Assume that the pillow thickness is negligible for calculation purposes).
