Why does building foundations have a large horizontal area of contact with the ground?
this is because when the area of contact between the ground and the building increases the pressure exerted by the building will be less for the same force.
When you are standing on the ground how much upward force is exerted on you by the earth?
The force is exactly equal to your weight.
When you are standing on ground how much upward force exerted on you why does this force not lift u up?
Because there is an equal and opposite force pulling you down: gravity.
How can you reduce the pressure an object exerts on the ground?
By increasing the area of cross section in contact with the ground
How do you Calculate the mass of an object of 180 joules and rest at 15 meters from the ground?
How do you calculate the mass of an object that has a potential energy of 180 joules and rest at the top of a hill 15 meters from the ground?
Why does building foundations have a large horizontal area of contact with the ground?
this is because when the area of contact between the ground and the building increases the pressure exerted by the building will be less for the same force.
What is the difference between in the ground and on the ground?
In simplest terms, an above ground pool is built the handle the water pressure exerted from the inside but not the pressure of the ground around the outside. It takes the special structure of a pool built for burial in order for it to not collapse when placing it into the ground and backfilling.
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.

What is the force exerted upwards from the ground?
In mechanics, the force exerted upwards by the surface that a body sits on is equal and opposite to the force exerted downwards by that body and is referred to as the Ground Reaction Force (GRF) or simply Reaction.
How does man walk?
When we walk on the ground our foot pushes the ground backward, and in return, the ground pushes our foot forward. The forward reaction exerted by the ground pushes our foot forward. The forward reaction exerted by the ground on our foot makes us walk forward.
Does a woman exert higher pressure on the ground when she is wearing high heels or flat sole shoes?
They both exert the same amount of force theoretically, it's just that the force exerted on the floor by the high-heel spike is more concentrated. High heel - less surface area, more concentrated force. Work boot - more surface area, less concentrated force.
When you are standing on the ground how much upward force is exerted on you by the earth?
The force is exactly equal to your weight.
Can fiberglass pools be above ground?
Generally no, as that material cannot take the weight exerted against it.
Can we say that atmospheric pressure also keeps the object on ground like gravititional force?
No. Quite on the contrary: Air provides a buoyant force, that will partially counteract the force of gravity. And if the object has a low density (as in a balloon), it may even get the object from the ground.
What is pascal law and its application?
Pascal's law (pressure exerted anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid such that the pressure variations (initial differences) remain the same)... and one common application would be a hydraulic lift (such as those used in garages to raise cars off the ground for inspection).
Why is the pressure on ground match more when a man stand on the question the when he lies the lies on the?
When a man stands on the ground his weight (force) is spread over a small area, causing high pressure on the ground (pressure is force divided by area). When a man lies on the ground his same weight (force) is spread over a larger area, causing low pressure on the ground (pressure is force divided by area).
