Do most satellites in the outer solar system have perfect smooth surfaces?

No. No object in the solar system has a perfectly smooth surface. These satellites have craters, mountains, and valleys.


Why is it that when central placeses colonize an isotropic surface a perfectly hexagonal regular pattern of distribution is the result?

An isotropic surface is the optimal environment for central colonization, therefore creating a perfect distribution of regular hexagonal patterns.

In woodworking why is this called a planer?

A 'plane' is a perfectly flat surface defined mathematically by three points. A planer is designed to create a perfectly flat surface on wood.


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!

Is surface tension a contact or non-contact force?

Surface tension is a result of cohesive forces between liquid molecules at the surface, so it is a non-contact force that acts at the interface of the liquid with its surroundings.


Does the frictional force depend on the area of surface contact?

No, the frictional force does not depend on the area of surface contact. It is primarily determined by the nature of the surfaces in contact and the normal force pressing the surfaces together. The coefficient of friction between the surfaces also plays a role in determining the magnitude of the frictional force.
