    Background: As heat is a form of thermal energy‚ they tend to have the behavior of reaching a thermal equilibrium. This means that when two bodies of different temperatures come in contact with each other‚ the hotter ones will transfer heat particles to the body with a colder temperature‚ with an aim to reach this “thermal equilibrium”‚ whatever the temperature may be. The larger the surface area‚ means there can be more “paths” from the sides of the body that are capable of releasing this heat particles

    different areas‚ and especially in the making of ships. The surface area that is touching the water of the ship is very large‚ due to the shape of the hull‚ and that‚ beside the density of the ship‚ is what keeps the ship floating. An important example of how surface area affects buoyancy is when people float in the water. Everyone knows that it is much easier to stay afloat when we are lying on our backs than when we are in a standing position in the water. But how does the surface area of an object

    Surface area Surface area is the measure of how much exposed area a solid object has‚ expressed in square units. Mathematical description of the surface area is considerably more involved than the definition of arc length of a curve. For polyhedra (objects with flat polygonal faces) the surface area is the sum of the areas of its faces. Smooth surfaces‚ such as a sphere‚ are assigned surface area using their representation as parametric surfaces. This definition of the surface area is based on methods

    HOW THE SHAPE OF THE BODY AFFECTS THE TEMPERATURE LOSS Introduction Small organisms have a surface area that is large enough‚ compared with their volume. As a results they lose heat rapidly when the environmental temperature is lower than their body temperature. However when the animal gets bigger their volume increases at a larger rate than their surface area‚ so the surface to volume ratio decreases. Adaptations help organisms to survive in their habitats. Adaptations can be structural‚ behavioral

    Surface Area Formulas In general‚ the surface area is the sum of all the areas of all the shapes that cover the surface of the object. Cube | Rectangular Prism | Prism | Sphere | Cylinder | Units Note: "ab" means "a" multiplied by "b". "a2" means "a squared"‚ which is the same as "a" times "a". Be careful!! Units count. Use the same units for all measurements. Examples   |Surface Area of a Cube = 6 a 2

    Background Information Surface area will increase the speed of reaction as the greater the surface of the solid reactants‚ the more particles are required to expose and ‘cover’ the capacity of the solid. Increased surface area results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles. Since the collisions become more frequent and abundant‚ the rate of reaction increases. Aim The aim of the experiment is to see if a greater surface area of a dissolvable tablet creates a faster or

    factors that can affect the reaction rate are surface area‚ temperature‚ and concentration and pressure. Surface area is the exposed‚ outer layer of a solid. Increased surface area increases reaction rate because more particles on the surface of a solid come in contact with the particles of another substance. For example‚ if you place a donut stick into water‚ the donut will react slowly with the acid. This is because the acid only comes in contact with the particles on the surface of the donut. But

    Formulas of Surface area and Lateral surface area of Polyhedrons LSA or Lateral Surface Area refers to the sum of the areas of all the faces of a three-dimensional figure‚ excluding its bases. SA or Surface Area- refers to the sum of the areas of all the faces of a three-dimensional figure. It also referred to as the Total Surface Area (TSA). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For Rectangular Prism LSA= P(h) *where P=perimeter of the base ; h= measurement of the height SA= 2B+ LSA *where

    between the rate of reaction and the surface area. The larger the surface are‚ the faster the rate of reaction seems to be. However‚ although the grain with the largest surface area (the smallest grain) reached the highest point within the shortest amount of time‚ its end result was still lower then the medium sized grain. The explanation for this result is relatively easy. The rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the size of the surface area to volume ratio of the solid reactant
