How does the amount of pressure you exert on the floor when you are lying down compare with the amount of pressure exert when you are standing up?
Since 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 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.
If you stand on one foot you increase the pressure you exert on the ground because?
you have decreased the area over which the force is applied, and pressure is force per unit area
Whenever you exert a force on an object the object exerts a force back on you that is?
Simple answer: yes In order for you to stand, talk, move... ect objects must exert a force on you. For example if you are standing on the ground, the ground has to be pushing back at you, or you would just fall through. If an object doesn't exert the same force you exert on it, then you are moving the object.
How come a lighter object can exert more pressure towards the ground then a heavier object?
By distributing the weight over a smaller area.
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.
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?

How does newtons third law of motion describe forces?
It shows that everything that happens will a reaction of equal force in the other direction. for example when you exert 20 pounds of pressure on the ground the ground will puch 20 of pressure back.
How come a lighter object can exert more pressure towards the ground then a heavier object?
By distributing the weight over a smaller area.
How much pressure does a ballet dancer exert on the floor when standing on one toe?
Personally i am a dancer and i do, do pointe when standing on the amount of pressure that you excert depends on how many years you have been training i am 12 and on one toe the pressure is not that big because you have the toe padding which takes most of the pain away so the pressure really isn't that great.
Which direction does a vapor material exert a pressure or force?
Vapor materials exert their pressure in just about every direction
What types of force that exert pressure?
athmospheric pressure
What is the external pressure?
external pressure is pressure that other things exert on you
