Why is it better in the snow to wear flat shoes than high heels?
cause you'll sink into the snow
Why does high heels sink in snow but not snow shoes?
Because of pressure. High heels gave small soles. The full weight on a small surface gives a high pressure while the same weight on a larger surface gives a lower pressure. It's like the difference between poking your finger into the sand or trying to push your fist into the sand.
Who exerts more pressure on the ground a 50 kg woman standing in high heels or a 50 kg woman standing in work boots?
The woman standing in high heels will exert more pressure on the ground as the pressure is determined by the force applied over a given area. Since the high heels have a smaller surface area compared to work boots, the force exerted by the woman's weight will be concentrated on a smaller area, resulting in higher pressure on the ground.
Who exerts more pressure on the ground a 50 kg woman standing in high heels or a 50 kg woman standing on work boots?
I would think that the woman in high heels would exert more pressure per square inch. All that 50 kg of weight is concentrated onto the small heels of the high heels, whereas with the boots it's spread out around the area of the boots, which significantly lowers the pressure. Put another way, if you go out and try to walk on extremely crunchy snow with the boots, they act like a pair of liferafts on water, in a sense, or at least for a second or two. With the heels, they sink right through the snow.
What is mushy snow?
Mushy snow is wet, heavy snow that has started to melt and has a high water content. It tends to be sticky and clumpy, making it difficult to ski or build snowmen with.
Should you use your high beams when you are driving in fog or snow?
Use your low beams or fog lights. Fog or snow will reflect high beam light back in your eyes making it more difficult to see.
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.
Why is it difficult to go on snow with wheelchair?
Snow is slippery.
Why is it difficult to reach the summit on mount Everest?
It is difficult because there are many avalanches there, it is high and someone can fall very easily and injure them self cause the ice snow!!
What clothes was the iceman wearing when he died?
It melted from the snow :)
What conditions make photographing snow crystals difficult?
Blizzard conditions would make photographing snow crystals difficult.
You should use the high-beam headlights to see and to be seen. Even in foggy conditions use the high beam lights?
You don't want to use high beams in foggy weather or snow. It actually makes it more difficult for you to see as the light reflects off the snow or fog.
