The surface area of a sharper nail is technically smaller compared to a dull nail of the same size. This is because a sharper nail has a more acute tip, which reduces the area of contact with the material it is penetrating. In contrast, a dull nail has a blunter tip, resulting in a larger surface area in contact with the material.

Is the surface area of an object be smaller than the volume?
It can be.
Which has a smaller surface area - cone or sphere?
cone
Do cells divide to have a smaller surface area?
No. In fact, if they retain their combined volume, their surface area would increase.
Is larger surface area break on a cycle wheel more effective than smaller surface area breaks?
Yes.
What is the effect of dividing a big particle into smaller ones on the total exposed surface area?
The total surface area increases.
How do you find the surface area of two similar solids?
you put: a squared over b squared = surface area of the smaller solid over surface area of the bigger solid
Why do things that have a bigger surface area volume ratio dry faster than things with a smaller surface area volume ratio?
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
Would bigger or smaller roller be better for reducing frction?
Smaller both in surface area and mass would reduce the friction
How the surface area to the volume ratio affects heat loss?
The bigger surface area to volume, the quicker it will lose heat, as it has a bigger surface where the heat can rise and travel out from. If the volume is the same but the surface area is smaller, heat will stay in for longer as there is only a small area for the heat to escape from, meaning it has to go little by little.
How does it surface area to volume ratio change as the cell gets bigger?
As a cell gets bigger, its volume increases more rapidly than its surface area. This results in a decreased surface area to volume ratio. A smaller surface area to volume ratio can affect the cell's ability to efficiently exchange nutrients and wastes with its environment.
How do you make shadows sharper?
To make shadows sharper, you can increase the light source’s intensity, focus the light on a smaller area, or decrease the distance between the object and the surface where the shadow is cast. Using a direct, strong light source positioned closer to the object will also help create sharper shadows.
Why Does the surface area affects the ability to get materials in and out of the cell?
Because to get in and out you have to cross the cell's surface and if it has a bigger area more can happen than with a smaller area. To increase the surface area volume ratio, the cell can reduce in size or change its shape.
How the surface are To volume ratio effects heat loss?
The bigger surface area to volume, the quicker it will lose heat, as it has a bigger surface where the heat can rise and travel out from. If the volume is the same but the surface area is smaller, heat will stay in for longer as there is only a small area for the heat to escape from, meaning it has to go little by little.

Which is bigger a butterfly or a grasshopper?
butterfly's have a bigger wing span, but some grasshoppers have larger bodies.
The effects of body size on heat loss?
A bigger animal has a small surface area in relation to their large volume. Smaller animals have a bis surface area to volume ratio which mean heat is easier to be lost.
Why do bigger parachutes take longer to fall to the ground?
Bigger parachutes have more surface area, which creates more air resistance. This air resistance slows down the descent of the parachute, causing it to take longer to reach the ground compared to a smaller parachute with less 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!
