In the light of physics, pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. That is P=F/A. Now in case of cutting something using a knife, you have to put pressure on the thing you want to cut. It is mentionable that,less the area is, more the pressure will be. That means pressure is inversely proportional to area. You know that, a sharp knife have less area on the cutting edge than the blunt one. As a result, by giving equal force the pressure by the sharp knife will be more than the blunt one. To do the same work, you have to give more pressure on the blunt knife for which the possibility of slipping the blunt knife with greater force will be more. And that would be dangerous for you as this can cause serious damage. For this reason, it is recommended to use sharp knives rather than blunt knives to cut vegetables.  less

    If you’re using a knife to peel a potato or carrot, the dull knife can stop on an irregular surface, forcing you to use excessive pressure to get past it. If the knife blade suddenly slips, you’re likely to cut yourself as it suddenly speeds up.
    Dull blades make cutting meats harder and make you use extra force to cut through any tougher part of the meat. Once it cuts through and can move easily, quite often you’ll cut your other hand when the blade moves quickly due to the force you’re using.
    A sharp blade cuts easily through most foods and only light to moderate pressure is required. It’s easier to guide and control a sharp blade due to its consistent cutting ability.  less

    A blunt knife, on the other hand, is quite likely to slip off the surface of some harder or tougher objects - and this means it will go in a direction you did not intend - perhaps in the direction of your fingers. To compensate for the loss of cutting action, you'll find yourself applying more force - which means you may no longer be in control of the blade; you might not even be holding it properly any more - and then, when the blade still slips and goes where it isn't meant to, it will arrive with far greater force, possibly cutting you quite badly.
    A blunt knife also tends to crush the food, rather than cutting it - so with something like an onion, the layers will...    less

But a blunt knife will create laceration which will create irregular edges in the wound creating a risk of infection. According to physics, we know that a unit of force (1 newton) applied to a unit area (1 meter squared) perpendicularly will create 1-pascal pressure. The formula being P=F/A (n/m^2). So, the more we apply pressure to the handle of the knife, the more the pressure is in a smaller surface area. This makes the point of contact of the vegetables precise and allows swift and clean cutting. Whereas the blunt knife having a larger surface area, won't have the same penetrating force which will result in a twisting force called torque. So the knife will rotate and cause injuries to the hand.  less

Sharp must have a thin edge and the Blunt has a thick edge. So the edge area of blunt is bigger than sharp. When you put the same force on both of them, the force is distributed in the smaller portion of Sharp's edge area and makes more pressure directly on surfaces and makes a quick cut. The same force will be distributed in the bigger portion of the Blunt's edge area and as the force spreads in a bigger place, the pressure becomes weaker on the surface and makes it harder to cut thoroughly. Sharp knife bite the surface with its thin edge and the blunt knife can't sit properly, so it becomes slippery and risky.
    In physics term, force/area=pressure. Here, forces are equal. Sharp knife has a smaller and blunt knife has a bigger area. When you divide the same number with a small and a large number, they result in a big and a small number(pressure) respectively. So the pressure of a sharp knife will be greater than blunt one.  less

But if he had used the sharp knife where the edge so sharp and it can go through anything. The area of a sharp knife is so small, and from that equation, you have guessed that the pressure will be high. So it will be so easy to cut vegetables into dices or any shape he wanted, That's why chefs sharpen their knife before use. But during the cut, he needs to careful that it doesn't hurt him.  less

    P=F/A
    where, P= applied pressure on the object
    F= force applied on the object
    A= the area of the object where pressure is applied
    Let's consider in above circumstances, adam applied the same amount of force on the carrot he was cutting with both the sharp and blunt knife. His ease of cutting will be dependent on whether the area of applied force is lesser than the other or not. Now, with common sense, we can easily understand that the sharp one has a lesser area of pressure than the blunt one because the edge is much narrower. So, more pressure will be put on using the sharper one.
    The risk of using a blunt knife is that it may slip the vegetable adam is cutting and may severely injure his hand. We don't want any harm to be done to this nice fellow. That's why his instructor advised him to use a shape knife in order to cut them with ease and safety while taking less time.  less

    Adam tried to cut the carrots using a blunt knife. He couldn't do that in brunoise cut and he almost cut his hand. His teacher mentioned that the sharp knife is efficient to cut any food. If you try to cut a cucumber using a blunt knife it would require you to exert more strength/force. The knife may slip if the sharp end is too thick. Whereas if you use a sharp knife you can efficiently do that by exerting less strength/force
    
    This is because of the force and the surface area. The surface area of the sharp end of a blunt knife is more than that of a sharp knife. We get from pascals law that Pressure is inversely proportional to the surface area. So if you apply the same amount of force for both the knife, the sharp knife would be more efficient. So sharper knife is safer in cutting food...    less

So he has to apply force in the knife which makes the pressure cut the Carrots. Here another physics term arises that is cutting Area of the knife. With all of these things, we can get a relation from physics that is Force=Pressure/Area
    Here we can see that Force is inversely proportional to Area . This means that if Area is increasing then Force will decreasing & similarly if the Area is decreasing then the Force will increasing with the proportion to each other.
    To cut the Carrots properly Adam had to give more pressure when he used the dull knife. Because the dull knife’s cutting area is more than the sharp knife. Moreover while giving more pressure for dull knife it might be slipped and cut his hand. As cutting Area of the sharp knife is less. So he had to give less pressure & did his work nicely and more safely.  less

    The elementary mathematical expression for pressure is giving by ,
    P = F/A
    Here, P is the pressure , F is the force acting perpendicular to the surface to which this force is applied and A is the area of the surface .
    The same force applied by a sharp knife with a smaller area of contact will exerts a much greater pressure than a blunt knife having a considerable larger area of contact .
    Once a blunt knife is through the object (vegetable or other food), there is a greater chance for the pressure to lead to slippage, skidding and injury. A sharp knife can cut using the edge of the e knife with a safer slicing. Rather, cuts from sharper knives can actually heal more easily than those from dull knives. A sharp knife is a safer knife than a dull knife.  less

According to the equation, force is directly proportional to pressure. A blunt knife has more area around the cutting edge than a sharp knife. So a blunt knife requires more pressure for the same amount of force to be exerted, as the pressure applied increases the chances of the knife slipping and cutting Adam's hand increases. Similarly, a sharp knife would require less pressure to be applied for the same amount of force to be exerted, this not only allows Adam to cut through the food but also prevents the knife from slipping and cutting his hand.  less

Also, the area of contact between a rubber block and an ice surface is bigger and we know that a bigger surface means a lot of friction. That's why Jacob safely drove that car, If the tire of Jacob were flat then the friction will low and he will not able to drove that car safely.

    3. the last phenomenon is also an example of friction but there is something you need to know is "energy". Energy can't be destroyed but it can transform one form to another. So when Jacob did rub hands he was pushing his hands back and forth to increase the friction of hands. When he was rubbing his hands he gives some energy and it was transforming to head and sound due to friction. Rubbing hands produce sounds if you haven't noticed try now. So that was the physics rule playing out there.
    
    You can also put some oil and try to rub then heat and the sound will be decreased because the friction is decreased also.
    I guess I exceed the word limits. Sorry for that, it was like a flow of words from my brain. I could do this all day long. Because I love physics.  less

    At first, when it comes to winter driving, the law of physics is most applicable which is Newton’s first law of motion called “ The law of intertia”. It states: “An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force “. On road dry, the friction of the wheels allow changes in speed and direction. But during winter, when the roads are covered with snow or ice, the coefficient of friction is substantially reduced. But, four wheels with good grip improves traction on icy roads. While driving on slippery surface, it's drive system send power to all 4 wheels to maintain traction. Here, friction between the surface and tires creates and maintains grip. For this reason, Jacob's four wheel car was very helpful for driving.  less

    Rubbing hands generates uneven heats due to the “Surface friction” of hand skins. There is no equilibrium heat (generated) at the initial phase. Thus the “Zeroth law of Thermodynamics” cannot work. But at a time gaining equilibrium heat on the skin, the law implicates, and he doesn’t feel the increasing temperature (meanwhile he got his nerves).
    
    Otherwise, his hands should be on fire.  less

Season change in Alaska happened because of earth's annual motion. As the earth tilts around its axis and different regions of earth face the sun in different particular times, season change happens. 2. The frictional force is more when the number of tires are more. If Jacob drove a motorcycle, then it would be more tough to drive it. 3. As the car engine gave the vehicle force to accelerate forward, Netwon's law of motion was applicable there. 4.Cause of slipping in the snow was the lack of grip on the shoe. Netwon's third law was applicable there. He put force upon the ice and the ice gave him the opposite resultant force back. But for lacking grip, his shoe slipped. 5. His hand got warm after rubbing because the kinetic energy after rubbing transformed into heat energy. It is mentionable that, the law conservation of energy was applicable throughout the time. 6. The camera could capture the picture because of containing lense and perfect focal length.  less

Here, I have explained a few acts of Jacob during his visit to a cold climate and his acts carried a few generalizations of physics. "His four-wheel drive car was very helpful to drive in that weather as it's tires had very good grip on the icy and slippery roads." - Referring with the laws of physics and breaking down how the mechanism of how Jacob's four wheeler is quite a better option for driving it over icy surface as while driving a vehicle, the engine generates a force on the driving wheels. This force initiates the vehicle to move forwards. Friction is the force that opposes the tyre rubber from sliding on the road surface. This friction avoids skidding of vehicles. The tread on a tire effects in a higher friction on the road than if the tire was smooth, this allows drivers to have greater control over the movement of their car which allows friction to occur at the maximum potential of the tire, which prevents the car from skidding and losing control.  less

"As soon as he started walking on the icy road, his shoes slipped and he fell on the ground." - Next here portraying Jacob's fall through an explanation of physics would be when Jacob was on an icy surface, though basically he don’t have any friction. Based on the analysis so far, that suggests that Jacob won’t be able to slow down, speed up, or change direction while on ice which is definitely true. When Jacob has sufficient friction, it’s able to slow the foot down to a stop almost immediately, allowing him to put his weight on it, but on an icy surface, the friction doesn’t kick in, and his foot slips out from under him.  less

This act of Jacob is quite easy to understand by the ways of physics. When he rubs his hands, heat is produced due to friction. This is the force which is responsible for resistance in motion on a rough surface. The temperature rises due to the friction making his hands feel warm in that cold climate.

    away the ice and snow.So he could drive safely.If no tread, there will be less friction and driving will become unsafe.
    
    Jacob's shoes slipped because uppermost ice layer contains thin water layer on it.Deeper ice layers stick to each other well but upper layers are very loose as they always remain in contact with air.While walking, jacob's shoes rubbed on ice that caused friction.Friction created heat and heat helped to melt the ice which made it more slippery.
    Frictional force is produced where there is a kinetic force acting between the two...    less

    Tanveer Tausif Ratul objects.When Jacob was rubbing his hand,a frictional force was produced which was emitted as heat.That energy didn't not come from the atmosphere, but rather the energy he was spending to overcome the frictional forces.

    1) Situation-1, Jacob’s car could travel the road despite the road was slippery. This happened as the tires had enough grooves to increase friction. Friction increases due to rough surface, so the tires could make a firm grip on the road and prevent slipping. But if the tires hadn’t enough groove it could felt due to the smooth icy road.
    
    2) 2nd situation where Jacob slipped on the ground due to wearing regular shoes. Although static friction occurred it wasn’t enough to stop slipping as the shoes of Jacob didn’t have enough grip to increase friction.
    
    3) We can see in the 3rd situation that through rubbing his palms together, Jacob felt warm on both palms. This occurred due to sliding friction. The molecules in the palms of Jacob’s started moving quickly. Static electricity was produced due to the sliding friction. Thus this static electricity converted into heat energy. So friction is the root of this.  less

First of all, it can be noticed that surface of the ice is slippery. So in order to prevent skidding, the tire of the car had a grooved pattern moulded into the rubber surface and are properly inflated which increases the amount of friction force acting on the car and so the car can move smoothly through the ice. Secondly, it is quite good to mention that normal shoes are not built to create a lot of frictional force, so as the ice is slippery, due to less frictional force, Mr Jacob slips.
    In order to prevent slipping on ice, ice boots have quite a good surface that can create a lot of friction with the ice, preventing the user of the boots from sleeping. Thirdly, rubbing hands is also an example of friction. Rubbing hands allows surfaces from both the hands to come into contact and rub against each other and this movement causes friction force to convert the kinetic energy of the hands into the thermal...    less

    is so slippery and doesn’t have enough grips. Jacob’s Car was useful there; it
    gives power to all 4 wheels at the same time. With the help of heavy car
    weight, those 4 tires made 4 friction points. The more friction it made, the
    more grip the car got. He might use frictional tires for getting more grips. In
    consequence of that, he moved easily.
    
    
    2.
    On the ice, there are
    unstable water molecules that are weakly bonded to the crystal. When Jacob
    walked on ice, the molecules began to move freely. His shoes had not enough
    friction point to grip in ice. As a result, his foot did not get enough static
    friction force to hold him in place & he slipped.
    
    
    3.
    Jacob’s hands came in contact & move relative to each
    other; the friction between the two hand surfaces converts kinetic energy into
    thermal energy. Thermal energy made his hand wormer and made it safe from being
    frozen.  less
