Answer:

Explanation:

A sharp knife cuts objects better  because due to its very thin edge, the force of our hand falls over very small area of the object producing a large pressure. And this large pressure cuts the object easily. On the other hand, a blunt knife has a thicker edge.

Hope it helps

Answer:

Pressure is inversely proportional to area. Sharp knife has a small area of contact than the blunt knife.Thus, a force will exert more pressure while using a sharp knife than while using a blunt knife.
