When you sit in a chair what is exerted against you?
If your feet are off of the floor, then the chair exerts your total weight against you.
An empty office chair is at rest on the floor Consider the following forces Gravity Upward force exerted by the floor A net downward force exerted by air What forces are acting on the office chair?
All three of the forces are acting on the office chair.
When you standing on the floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet How much force does it exert?
Because your feet are not accelerating, the force exerted by the floor upon your feet must be exactly the same as the force exerted by your feet on the floor. If you are standing, the amount of force exerted by your feet, and thus the amount of force exerted by the floor, is equivalent to your weight.
What is the primary reasons that humans can't measure features of the ocean floor directly?
At great depths, the pressure exerted by the water is too high.
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 you stand, the longer the time you stand, the more pain you feel on your feet. And we can't be move upward by the force that the floor exerted on our feet because of the force of our weight that keeps us on the ground, and also because of gravity.
Which is more likely to cause damage to a wooden floor a basketball player in athletic shoes or a sports reporter stainding in high heels?
the reporter because there is more pressure being applied to a smaller floor contact area. the pressure exerted depends on the area of contact. the smaller the area of contact the greater the pressure. for equations use this: Pressure= force/ area force will usually have a variable of N and area will be a unit of measurement
