yes because it is like any other object if you change the shape you change the surface area


How do you figure out the surface area of any shape?

There is no one formula for surface area for all shapes. Basically, it is the sum of all the faces and laterals.

How do you calculate the surface area of any shape?

The method usually fits into one of two general categories: 1). Use the formula that has been developed for the surface area of that particular shape. 2). Break the shape down into pieces with shapes for which the formula for the surface area has been previously developed, and then apply the method of Category #1.


What shape contains heat best?

A sphere contains heat best, since it has the highest ratio of volume to surface area, of any shape.


How does surface area affect acceleration?

In a vacuum it does not have any effect. In a fluid, surface area, shape and texture has great effect. A small, smooth, aerodynamically designed surface area, especially the leading surface area would aid in positive acceleration. The opposite would aid in negative acceleration.

What happens to the volume of an object as its surface area increases?

In general, the volume will also increase. If the shape remains the same, the volume will increase faster than the surface area. Specifically, the surface area is proportional to the square of an object's diameter (or any other linear measurement), while the volume is proportional to the cube of any linear measurement.


What Units can you use to find sphere's surface area?

The term units usually refers to a measurement of size, area or volume. These can be expressed in any way you choose. For example, units of measurement can be centimeters, inches, square feet, square meters, cubic yards, etc. Surface area would be expressed in some squared unit like square inches, etc. Characteristics such as length, or area are measured in units. In the case of a sphere, knowing either the diameter or radius is all that's required to determine the surface area.
