Question

A sharp knife can cut objects more easily compared to a blunt knife because a sharp knife applies more pressure on the object.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The sharp knife can cut objects more easily because it has a smaller contact area and we know that pressure is inversely proportional to area. Therefore, for the same amount of force applied, the sharp knife exerts more pressure and hence cuts more easily
