4. The same heavy object (such as a brick) is placed flat, sideways, and upright on a sponge. The pressure on the sponge is greatest when:
- A. Placed flat
- B. Placed sideways

6. To make it easier for a nail to be driven into a wooden board, the tip of the nail should be made very sharp. This is to:
- A. Increase force
- B. Increase surface area
- C. Increase pressure
- D. Decrease pressure
7. Why is this sponge (or foam) used as the object under pressure in the experiment instead of a wooden board?
- A. Sponge is cheaper
- B. Sponge deforms easier, making it easier to observe
- C. Sponge has high friction

- B. 1 kilogram of force on an area of 1 square meter
- C. 1 Newton of force on an area of 1 square centimeter
- D. Subject to 1 Newton of force
9. When a person with a mass of $60kg$ stands, the contact area between their feet and the ground is about $400cm^2$. If they switch to standing on one foot, the pressure on the ground will:
- A. Become 2 times the original
- B. Become half of the original
- C. Remain unchanged
- D. Become 4 times the original
10. True or False: When walking on ice, if the ice is about to break, lying down immediately can prevent the ice from breaking because lying down reduces the force of the person on the ice.
- True
- False
