When is the pressure on the ground more when a man is lying or when a man is standing?

The person of mass (m) exerts the same force on the ground both standing up and lying down. This can be easily seen through Newtons Second Law ie F = ma.
Knowing that pressure is defined as force over area (P = F/Area), it can be seen that the person standing up is applying more pressure to the ground.

∙ 15y agoPressure is the force exerted on an area divided by that area. When you stand or lie down the force you exert is your weight. So when you lie down the force of your weight is spread out over a larger area then when you stand up and the pressure will be less when lying down. I would estimate standing up produces about 6 times more pressure as laying down.

∙ 12y agoSince your weight remains constant, the only variable is the area. Pressure is the ratio of Force to Area, implying that the larger the area the smaller the pressure and vice versa. Since lying down translate into occupying a larger area than when standing up, a lower pressure is exerted on the floor while lying compared to when standing on the floor.

When a man is standing, the area of contact with the ground is less than the area of contact when lying down. Since his weight is constant, there is more pressure when he is standing.

Why is the pressure on the ground more when a man is walking than when he is standingn?
when a man is standing on ground all his weight is in downward direction and pressure is the force divided by area as force is maximum and area is minimum so pressure will be more when he is standing
Who exerts more pressure on the ground a 500N woman standing in 0.005m high heels or a 500N woman standing in 0.05m work boots?
a women who wears a 500n while standing in 0.5m work boots.
Who exerts more pressure on the ground a 50kg woman standing in high heels or a 50kg woman standing in work boots?
heels bc everything is going into this one little heel but your boots support everything
Who exerts more pressure on the ground -a kg women standing in high heels or a kg women standing in work boots?
High heels. The downward force in both cases is the weight of the woman. However, in high heels, the force acts on a relatively small area whereas with work boots the area is larger. As a result, the pressure is greater with high heels.Estimates suggest that a woman of average average mass, wearing stiletto heels with an area of 1 cm^2, will exert more than 10 times the pressure exerted by a 4 ton elephant standing on one foot.
If we wear high heels in one leg and sleepers in another leg which exerts pressure more preesure to the ground?
High heels apply more pressure.
When is the pressure on the ground more-when a man is lying or when a man is standing?
There is more pressure when the man is standing, since pressure is the amount of force acting on a certain area and is calculated by dividing the force by the area. When a man is standing, the area of contact with the ground is less than the area of contact when lying down. Since his weight is constant, there is more pressure when he is standing.
Which exerts more force on the ground a person lying down or standing up?
in which situation you exert more force downward, standing or lying horizantilly?
Why is the pressure on the ground more when a man is walking than when he is standingn?
when a man is standing on ground all his weight is in downward direction and pressure is the force divided by area as force is maximum and area is minimum so pressure will be more when he is standing
Why is the pressure on ground more when a men is walking than when a men is standing?
The difference is dynamic pressure vs. static pressure.
When do you apply more pressure whether on standing on the floor or when you are lying on the floor explain.?
You apply more pressure when you are standing up. This is because when you are laying down the weight of your body is being distributed and is not all in one place. When you are standing up all your weight is in the one spot you are standing on.
Which produces more pressure on the ground a person standing up or the same person laying down?
standing up, did this on web assign
Who exerts more pressure on the ground a women standing in running shoes a women standing in skis or a women standing in high heel shoes?
assuming they all weigh the same, they would be equal. if not, the heavier one would be exerting more pressure on the ground. if you are looking for an answer relating to pressure exerted in a specific spot, calculate it by surface area.
Why does a mattress sink more when a person is standing on it compared to when the person is lying on it?
More lbs. per square inch standing up than lying down.
Who exerts more pressure on the ground a 500N woman standing in 0.005m high heels or a 500N woman standing in 0.05m work boots?
a women who wears a 500n while standing in 0.5m work boots.
Who exerts more pressure on the ground a 50kg woman standing in high heels or a 50kg woman standing in work boots?
heels bc everything is going into this one little heel but your boots support everything
Which position places more pressure on the spine?
