Which exerts greater pressure on the floor standing flat-footed or standing on tiptoe?

on tiptoe, because the force acts over less area


How can someone make it easier to run?

Wear lighter clothes (both color and weight) and if you have breathing issues, use an inhaler. Cold water has to be heated in your body to 98 degrees F in order for your body to use it. If you are flat footed, run on your toes or you can have surgery. Also try pumping your arms and breathing in the nose, out the mouth.if you have to stop, stop. DO NOT HURT YOURSELF.


What would happen on a day with no friction for kids?

A day without friction would be like a day in space... but with gravity. One might fall out of bed... or more likely the covers would just slide off, but one's weight would create a valley in bed that would be very difficult to get out of, because if one moved, one would just roll. Perhaps one could use the hill/valley gradients on the bed to move enough to get out of bed. If one managed to get out of bed, then one would likely fall flat on the floor. Without friction, it would be very difficult to stand or balance... like on a skating rink, but worse. And, you couldn't grab onto anything either. One would have to depend on pushing off of solid surfaces... but not something freestanding or say the bed might go flying across the room. Skating into the bathroom would be challenging, and one would have to push off of things to change direction. One should probably plan on sliding down the stairs. You might be able to cradle a bowl in your hands to carry it. Holding the spoon would be more of a challenge. A cylindrical glass would be difficult to hold onto because it would just slide out of one's hand. And, certainly wouldn't stay put on the table. A "footed glass" might give an area that one could grip. Better leave the car at home... it would be essentially useless with no traction, and very dangerous without brakes. Walking to school would be like skating... except on a super-slick surface. Hopefully the trip is downhill or level, as the uphills, even slight inclinations would be very challenging. One would certainly expect chairs to be sliding everywhere... kids falling out of chairs, and books and pencils sliding off of surfaces and falling to the floor... then sliding around the room like a pin-ball machine. One could tie stuff down, but even many clasps require friction. Although a belt buckle uses pressure and a mechanical lever. Weight could certainly be used to one's advantage too. Anyway, the day would continue to be chaotic. Everything important would have to be secured down with some mechanical method, and one would be re-learning how to do do seemingly ordinary tasks like walking.
