They are spheres. They cannot therefore have different geometrical properties. To alter surface to volume ratios you would need to alter the shape. The study of mathematical shapes is called topology.

In organic chemistry explain why water evaporates faster at a wider and flat surface?

A greater surface area from which evaporation can occur.


Why is evaporation greater over warm waters?

The movement of molecules increase when the temperature increase; some molecules at the water surface can escape as a gas.


How can you increase the surface to volume ratio of a basketball and a tennis ball?

The tennis ball. But do you know why? The anser to that is in the relationship between the fomula for a shere's volum and that of it's surface area. Area is a radius squared function whereas volume is a radius cubed function.


Why does the cell from the inner lining of the intestine has the folded mebrance?

The inner lining of the intestine has folds in it so as to increase the surface are. This greater aids in the absorption of nutrients from the gut. The larger the surface area, the greater the rate of absorption.


What ways can you increase the acceleration of an object?

You can increase the acceleration of an object by applying a greater force to it, reducing its mass, or reducing the friction acting on it. Increasing the slope of the surface it is moving on can also increase its acceleration.


Why does the basketball have greater pressure than the beach ball?

There are more particles of gas in the basketball than in the beach ball. So, more particles hit the inside surface of the basketball than hit the inside surface of the beach ball. When more particles hit the inside surface of the basketball, the force on the inside surface of the ball increases. This increased force leads to greater pressure, which makes the basketball feel harder than the beach ball. Hope this helps :)


Will a basketball bounce higher on a flat surface or a rocky surface?

the basketball will most likely bounce higher on a flat surface


Is a basketball court a good surface for a basketball?

Explain how reducing the size of food particles aids the process of indigestion?

Smaller particles have, between them, a greater gross surface area. This greater surface area means that the digestive juices can process them more quickly than they can process larger pieces.
