Question

Explain why is it easier to walk on soft sand if you have flat shoes, rather than shoes with small heals?

Answer 1

It is very difficult to walk with pointed heels on loose sand as they have a very narrow base that makes you to sink into the sand with your body weight but flat shoes have a much wider base than pointed heels so they give you a wider surface area to spread your weight out more and enables you to walk more on top of the sand.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

It is easy to walk on sand with flat shoes and not high heels because the surface area of heels is less than that of flat footwear.

Surface area is inversely proportional to pressure.

So, we feel less pressure while walking with flat shoes of greater surface area.
