Time management is very much important in IIT JAM. The eduncle test series for IIT JAM Mathematical Statistics helped me a lot in this portion. I am very thankful to the test series I bought from eduncle.

if you fall from greater height. your velocity (and hence, momentum) will be more at reaching ground.(because, v^2- u^2=2gh, depends on height). and after falling your velocity will be zero. change in momentum will be more for greater height fall. and force is directly proportional to change in velocity. hence the injury will be more. best regards.

when u fall from height, ur velocity is (2*g*h)^(1/2). so when u fall from greater height, velocity is more than the velocity when u fall from less height.. after falling to ground velocity will become zero so change is momentum(mv) is large in case of greater height.. as force proportional to change in momentum so u feel more force and injury will be more in case of greater height.... for any doubt please ask
