Who exerts more pressure on the ground an elephant or a woman in spike heels?
[At the moment when only the heel rests on the ground.] Ask teams to tackle this challenge. (Stiletto heels have an area of about 1/16 of a square inch. Elephants, unlike humans, walk with two feet on the ground at a time. Each foot is about 40 square inches. Thus, the woman "wins" by far more than 1,500 psi versus 75 psi.)""Humans will only have one foot on the ground while walking. Estimate that the area of the heel on a man's shoe is 10 in2. When he walks, a 200 lb. man exerts 20 psi because the weight is supported momentarily by the heel. A 100 lb. woman exerts many more psi when she wears heels. Depending on the area of the heel, she can exert as much as 1600 psi under a 'stiletto heel' ¼ inch on a side. This explains why people with wood floors don't want women walking on them in high heels.""65kg on a surface of 2 cm2 (e.g., high heel shoes) will result in a pressure of 3 250 000 Pa (beneath the high heels, if the person is standing on the surface of planet Earth). A four ton elephant, on the other hand, standing on one foot will cause a pressure of only 250 000 Pa under that foot. As an exercise try to calculate the area of the aforementioned foot. The solution can be found in this footnote1." http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2003/JackGreen.shtml
To hit a horse with the leg is called?
I think this question is refering to what is know as a "leg aid". It's not so much a kick as leg pressure to direct the horse to what the rider wants him to do. Well trained horses should always understand leg pressure which can be heels, calves, thighs or butt (seat in horse talk).

Why is there more pressure under a woman's stiletto high heel shoe than an elephants foot?
Pressure is exactly equal to force divided by surface area. If that fact is true it is because the whole elephants weight (force) is spread out over four feet of relatively large surface area. A womans weight is only on her two (smaller) feet. If she leans on the back of her high heels all the weight (force) shifts to the tiny points of the stillettos. To find out how much more pressure is on the stillettos, just take the weight divided by the approximate surface area of the high heel. But since elephants weigh up to 13000 pounds, about 100 times what a woman weighs the heels would need to be (since only two heels to an elephants 4 feet) about 50 times smaller than an elephants foot to get equal pressure so it seems possible.

Why does a woman wearing spiked high heel shoes can damage a floor more easily than when she is wearing flat shoes?
The pressure (weight per area) exerted on the floor is higher when wearing high heels because the surface area of the bottom of a pair of high heels is much lower than for flat shoes. And higher pressure can do more damage.
Explain how a woman weighing 500 N and wearing high-heeled shoes can exert a pressure on the floor equal to about three times the pressure exerted by a 45000-N elephant?
If she is wearing stilleto heels and all of her weight is concentrated on the small area of the heel, then the pressure per square inch can be very great. The elephant's weight is distributed over 4 feet and a much larger area (Elephants have huge feet).
