If an object's surface area is smaller does it create more or less pressure?

• More

• Less

• The same

What is pressure?

• The amount of force exerted on a surface

• The surface area of an object

• The weight of an object

• 7000N/m²

• 70N/cm²

• 100N/m²

If you're walking in snow why would you wear boots instead of high heels?

• Because boots have a higher surface area making the pressure less and stopping you from sinking.

• Because it's more comfortable

• No, high heels are better
