Is larger surface area break on a cycle wheel more effective than smaller surface area breaks?
Yes.
What is the relationship between the surface area to volume ratio of a cell and its size?
The larger the surface area to volume ratio of a cell, the smaller its size (and vice versa).
Is the surface-area-to-volume ratio of a small cell less than that of a larger cell?
As a cell becomes larger the surface area to volume ratio gets smaller. The volume increases by the square of the surface area. That is the main reason that one celled organisms are small.
Which has greater surface area a sugar cube or an equal mass of sugar crystals?
Consider this:If a cube has side length d, then its volume is d3 and its surface area is 6d2.If I cut the cube into 8 smaller cubes by bisecting each edge, then the new side length is d/2, the sum of the volume is 8 * ((d/2)3) = d3, and the surface area is 8 * (6(d/2)2) = 12d2.Therefore, even though the volume stayed constant, the sum of the surface area increased when I cut a larger cube into small cubes. The increase in surface area will be larger and larger as the cube is cut into smaller and smaller pieces. Therefore a sugar cube always has less surface area than an equal mass of sugar crystals.Granulated sugar has more surface area than a sugar cube.
As the radius of a sphere gets larger which of the spheres measurements increases more the surface area or the volume?
The volume increases faster. (proportional to the cube of the radius)The surface area increases slower. (proportional to the square of the radius)
How the size of particles affect the way the particles dissolve?
The smaller the particle the faster it dissolves. This is because the process by which a solute dissolves takes place at the surface of the solvent. That means the larger the surface area of a particle or solute, the faster the solute will dissolve.
Does a solid dissolves faster when it is ground?
YES!answ2. Dissolution of a solid is a surface phenomenon. Smaller particles have more surface area than larger ones do. So they dissolve faster.
Effect of surface area on evaporation?
The larger the area the faster the evaporation.
How does the area of exposed surface affect evaporation?
The larger the exposed surface area - the faster evaporation occurs.
That a larger volume of liquid will always evaporate faster than a smaller volume?
evaporation speed is determined by temperature, humidity and exposed surface area
Does a smaller rock a have higher or lower percentage of surface area than a larger rock?
It depends on percentage related to WHAT! You cannot express surface area as a percentage of volume since the dimensions are different. So the only percentage you can have is the suface area of the smaller rock as a percentage of the surface area of the larger rock. In that case, the answer, not surprisingly, is that the smaller rock has the smaller percentage surface area.It depends on percentage related to WHAT!

Why does reducing solute size particle size increase the speed at which the solute dissolves in water?
For the amount of material in the particle the surface area of a small particle is greater than a larger particle. Said another way, the surface area per unit volume is greater for a smaller particle. Dissolving speed is related to the surface area. Therefore a smaller particle dissolves faster than a larger particle.
Which has the greater surface area one large cell or 27 smaller cells?
If the smaller cells' total volume is at least that of the larger cell then the smaller cells have the greater surface area.
Is larger surface area break on a cycle wheel more effective than smaller surface area breaks?
Yes.
If you spread out a liquid does it evapourate faster?
Yes, because it has a larger surface area
Why do smaller rocks weather faster than big rocks?
Small particles weather faster than larger particles because they have a smaller surface area. For example, pebbles weather faster than boulders because the have less areas to cover.
Does water evaporate quicker on a bigger surface area?
I believe only surface water, ie water in contact with air, evaporates.Therefore the larger the surface area,the faster the evaporation.......Tony
