Edexcel IGCSE Physics syllabusPhysics 4PH1Issue 4 (2024)

Practise Edexcel IGCSE Physics areas, surface areas and volumes by estimating contact area from grid squares and square side lengths.

How this is tested

  • Estimate contact area by counting grid squares and multiplying by the area of each square.

Question 4(b)(i)

[Maximum number: 4]

A student investigates how much pressure she exerts on the ground when she is standing up.

The student measures the area of one of her feet when it is in contact with the ground. She draws around her foot on a piece of squared paper.

Figure for Question 4(b)(i) — Edexcel IGCSE Physics

The squares on the paper have a side length of 2 cm.

Estimate the area of the student's foot in contact with the ground.

area = ............ cm^2
