pressure

What pressure does a 4000N horse exert on the ground if each foot is 10cm²?

• 40 N/cm²
• 100 N/cm²
• 400 N/cm²
• 10 N/cm²

If the horse reared up on 2 legs what effect would it have on the pressure?

• it will exert half the pressure it did before
• it will exert the same pressure it did before
• it will exert twice the pressure it did before
• it will exert four times the pressure it did before

Army tank tracks are useful for travelling through the mud because..

• they decrease the force the vehicle exerts on the ground
• they increase the force the vehicle exerts on the ground
• they decrease the pressure the vehicle exerts on the ground
• they increase the pressure the vehicle exerts on the ground

• A fat cow with big feet
• A fat cow with small feet
•  A calf with big feet
• A calf with small feet

How would you calculate the force to be used on a brake of area 0.5cm² if the slave cylinder has a 4cm² area and needs 800N to stop the car.

• 4 x 800 x 0.5
• 800/0.5 x 4
• 0.5 x 4 x 800
• 800 x 0.5 /4

Diagram shows the design of a dam. Why does the thickness of the dam increase with its depth?

• The design of this structure is stronger.

• Water pressure increases with depth.

• The cost of construction is lower.

• Water pressure acts uniformly in all directions.
