Question

What should a cat do to save itself from getting hurt when falling from a height?

• A. It should increase its air drag
• B. It should decrease its body weight
• C. It should make its surface smoother by using atmospheric gradient
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A It should increase its air drag

When a cat falls down from a height, it should attempt on reducing the velocity with which it hits the ground. This can be done if there is some force which opposes its fall (the fall is basically the earth's gravitational pull on the cat). This opposing force is called the air drag. By increasing the air drag, the cat can save itself from not getting hurt.
