Question

Tell me distance which is not equal to zero if a man is falling with initial velocity zero and his final velociy as zero so that he does getsany hurt

And is it possible that if a man can have his final velocity as zero(suppose) that he will definitely don't gets any hurt

Solution

I couldnt understand your question well, i hope you are asking that, is it possible to make the velocity of a freely falling body to zero.
it is possible. But we have to do something for reducing the impulse to zero,so that it will reach on the ground safely&will not move any more distance.It is just like we are catching a ball dropped from a height.If we want to catch the ball with out any hurt,we should pull our hand back while catching the ball.we have to do this perfectly,Then only we do not get hurt.Similiarly if the man is falling to a sponge bed/ to a net holded above the ground with appropriate ground clearence will help the man to land safely&helps to make zero final velocity suddenly.

If you want to calculate the distance travelled by such a body,use the equation S=ut +1/2 at^2 and put u=0 & a =g.
