6. In which case do you think the overall vertical force your body felt when it hit the ground was greater—when you bent your knees or when you kept them straight? Explain.

7. A large force can make your bones break, damage the discs in your spine, or other unpleasant things. Why do you think you instinctively bend your knees when landing after jumping?​

When you keep your knees straight you experience a greater force.

You instinctively bend your knees because you know there will be less pain / damage to your body.
