Why does water spilled on a floor evaporate more rapidly than the same amount of water in glass?

Two things, depth and surface area. A puddle is generally shallow and large, meaning there is more area for the sun to heat, which more water can evaporate at a faster rate. A glass of water is small and deep, so the process is slower. Now if you took the same volume of water that was in the glass and poured it onto the floor, the water would evaporate faster.

If the same amount of water is spilled on the floor, however, it may dry in an hour or so, because the surface area is much larger.Type your answer here...

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.

How long does it take to evaporate1 liter of water?
That depends a lot on the circumstances: mainly the shape of the water's container (the key part here is, how much surface is exposed), and the temperature. If you spill one liter of water on the floor, it might well evaporate within minutes in some cases. If you spill it on a hot metal plate, it might take seconds to evaporate.
Why do floortiles feel cold?
Floor tiles absorb heat rapidly. This means that if you stand in bare feet on tiles, a lot of heat is drawn out of your foot. A carpet in comparison, absorbs heat slowly. This makes floor tiles feel colder that a carpet when they are actually the same temperature.
Why does rug in a room warmer than tile in the same room?
It's not a case of the rug being warmer. It's that the tile is very dense, and that conducts away the heat of your feet rapidly - "the floor is cold". The rug traps a lot of air in it's fiber, and the air insulates your foot from the floor.
