I believe it has something to do with the large surface area resulting in lower pressure on the snow (or whatever your skiing on, if not snow) so you don't fall into the snow.
yes heat loss is affected by diameter, circumference and surface area. Heat loss depends on the surface area : volume ratio.......the larger this is the more heat is lost if a cylinder having the same volume but a different surface area...(therefre radius and circumference is different)........the cylinder having the larger surface area will loose heat fastest
For a cube with edge length, L. Surface area = 6L2. Volume = L3. So ratio of Surface Area / Volume = 6 / L. Therefore, as the side length, L, increases, the ratio will decrease.
I will rephrase your question: What happens to the surface area of a cube when the volume doubles. Ans. Surface area becomes 1.5876 times larger. Explanation: Let L = the length of the side of the original cube and h x L the length of the cube that is double the volume. Now: Vol= L^3 x 2 = (h x L)^3 or h = 2^(1/3) = 1.2599, so the length will be 1.2599 times larger. Surface area = 6 x L^2 for original cube and 6 x L^2 x 1.2599^2 for the cube with twice the volume. 1.2599^2 = 1.5876 If you are asking what happens to the surface area when the sides double, then the larger cube has surface area = 6 * 2^2 * L^2 , so 6 * 2^2 = 24. Each side is 4 times larger so the total surface area is 24 times larger.
FALSE!
If your ski shoes are inserted into skis, then you have the whole surface area of the ski supporting your weight. The larger the surface area that is pressing down on the snow, the less pressure there is per square inch. It takes a certain amount of pressure per square inch to overcome the cohesion of the snow.
Yes, snow skis with a larger surface area can reduce friction by distributing the skier's weight more evenly across the snow. This allows for better gliding and maneuverability on the snow.
Skis don't sink in snow because of their wider surface area that distributes the skier's weight over a larger area, which creates more pressure and prevents them from sinking. Additionally, the design of ski bindings and boots help to keep the skier's weight evenly distributed on the skis to maintain buoyancy on the snow.
Powder typically has a larger surface area compared to lumps because the fine particles in powder allow for more surface area to be exposed. This increased surface area can be advantageous for processes like absorption or dissolution.

A soccer ball has a larger radius than a baseball, so it has more surface area.
larger area of contact will mean larger area for the pressure to spread. and less force will be exerted per unit area of the snow. hence the snow will remain intact underneath keeping the ground stable
As a cell grows larger, its volume increases faster than its surface area, leading to a decrease in the surface area-to-volume ratio. This can limit the cell's ability to efficiently exchange materials with its environment, affecting its overall functioning.
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
gliding surface
the larger the surface area you have, to more heat that you are going to lose.
The larger the area the faster the evaporation.
