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.
How much force does a floor exert on you?
When you stand on a floor, the force that you exert on the floor because of your weight is equal to the force with which the floor supports your weight.
When you stand on a floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet?
Yes
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.
Why is it difficult to walk on a slippery floor?
There may not be enough friction between your feet and the floor. You need friction to be able to exert a force against the floor, to balance yourself and move in the direction you desire.
What to do to practice press handstands?
Here are two ways to practice press to handstands..... ~The first way is to practice them against a wall on a floor bar. Have your gymnast kick to handstand on the floor bar against the wall then slowly straddle down....keeping her shoulders and back against the wall have her touch her big toe to the bar and then straddle back up to handstand. Once they have the strength to do that press to handstands will be a lot easier. ~The second way involves using some frisbees. Have your gymnast go into a push up position with each foot in a separate frisbee. Then have your gymnast slowly push her shoulders over her hands and then pull her feet, in the frisbees, up to her hands. This will get the muscles needed to do a press to handstand much stronger.

What are some styles of handstands?
I am an 11 year old previous gymnast. There are only about two styles of handstands there is one called pull up handstand, and the classic handstand. In a classic handstand you will want to go up with a straight leg, and pointed toes. Keep your elbows completely straight and your shoulders over the rest of your body. If that makes sense. In a pull up handstand you start with your legs spread about two and a half feet apart then you rest your hands on the floor without jumping AT ALL you then lift your legs into and classic handstand. This takes stomach muscle, arm muscle, butox muscle and most of all leg muscle. Good luck!

Why is it that a girl with a high heel shoe can do more damage to a wooden floor that an elephant?
I am not quite sure whether this really is the case. But the idea is that the high heel shoe might possibly exert more pressure on the floor. Pressure is force divided by area, so if the heel has a sharp point, it may cause quite a bit of pressure.
Are you stand on floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet how much force does it exert why are you not moved upward by this force?
The floor is a stationary object (in relationship to you). The floor will provide only enough force to match the force of gravity holding you down. It has to be equal.

How do you do the suicide in break dancing?
The suicide move is done best right after another move, such as side-freeze or handstand. To do the suicide, simply fall flat on the floor face-up. For example, to do a suicide right after a handstand, fall forward from a handstand and land flat on the ground with your body face-up.
