i hard kick could break your knee but not your knee cap. your knee cap is solid bone its like trying to break a really hard and thick rock

It maybe hard, but not impossible, i broke about a 1/4 of my knee cap off by a simple fall in my kitchen. Of course, it dislocated first, but still possible.

Since femur is the largest bone of our body, an ample amount of force is required.

Let's say that the bone may break if if we hit it with a large hammer with lots of force twice or thrice. Additional amounts can be invited.

Why are stronger bones healthy for you?

Bones are living tissue, like skin or liver. There are many, many living cells within a bone that are devoted to laying down and also to removing the calcium that provides the physical support that makes bone stiff and strong. If your diet is low in calcium, your body will take calcium out of the bones to use it for essential work elsewhere. If you don't use your bones, by exercising, the cells in the bone will take calcium out of the bone in a "use it or loose it" sort of feedback loop. When bones loose calcium, they are more likely to break or compress. So, when your bones are strong it means your diet and exercise are good and your bones will be much less likely to break or hurt.


How much pressure can bones take?

"depends on thee bone. Copperhead_51 " That's wrong. As long as there would be no gas in something, the thing cannot break under any kind of pressure (unless you have pressure equivalent to a sun or blackhole). At some pressure, chemicals can start to break down, but your bones would still not break.


Why are bones wider at the end and skinnier in the middle?

The ends of our long bones fit into joints. These joints are lined with cartilage (the flexible tissue that makes up your ears and nose), because cartilage is smoother than bone, and allows the joint to move better But cartilage isn't as strong as bone. By having a larger surface area at the bone end, the stresses on the cartilage are spread out over a greater area. (think of how it would take much less force to break the skin with a pin than with a pencil).

How far of a fall does it take to break a bone?

It depends how strong your bones are, and how heavy you are. If you have really weak bones, then it will not take far, but if you have strong bones, it will take a bit more of a distance, falling out of a tree for example. If you land the right way, you could break a bone.
