Surface area affects floating by influencing the buoyant force acting on an object. A larger surface area increases the amount of water displaced when an object is placed on it, enhancing buoyancy. This is why some objects, like wide boats, can float even if they are heavy; their broad surface area allows them to displace enough water to counteract their weight. Conversely, a small surface area may not displace sufficient water to achieve buoyancy, causing the object to sink.
Surface area affects floating by influencing the buoyancy of an object; a larger surface area can distribute weight over a greater area of water, increasing buoyancy. This is why objects like boats, which have wide hulls, can float despite being heavy, as they displace a sufficient volume of water. Conversely, small or narrow objects may sink if their surface area is not large enough to counteract their weight. Thus, the relationship between surface area and weight is crucial for an object's ability to float.
Yes.

Mass does not directly affect surface area. Surface area is a measure of the total area of an object's external surfaces, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. However, as the mass of an object increases, its volume typically increases as well, which can indirectly affect its surface area if the shape remains constant. Objects with larger masses may have larger surface areas if their volume increases proportionally.
It increases it.
It depends on the size of the ice. Icebergs are floating ice and they can be huge. For example, Iceberg B15, had a surface area of 11,000 square kilometres which is than the area of Jamaica. A human being walking on it would probably affect less than an ant on a blue whale!
Surface area affect the reaction rate because the contact between finely divided particles is improved.
The surface area of a rock has a big affect on the rate of weathering. The higher the surface area of the rock in proportion to its overall mass will result in a quicker rate of weathering of the rock.
How does slope affect the rate of weathering
Yes, surface area can affect static friction. Generally, larger surface area will result in greater static friction because there is a larger area for interlocking between the surfaces, increasing the resistance to sliding.
the greater the surface area the easier it is for them to reach and react with substrates
The bigger the surface area of water the more evaporation will take place.
Directly proportional
Yes.
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
due to surface area. if you are taller your lungs will have a greater surface area which will raise the volume.
Yes, it is normal; a great surface area improve the speed of dissolution.
