Simple answer: yes.

It's a common theme in all aspects of the universe: the most efficient structure is that which maximizes its SURFACE AREA: VOLUME ratio.

Plants and trees do this by having hairs on their roots, greatly increasing their surface area while minimally increasing volume.

Side note, that's how the human intestine works too: it's full of small hairs called villi, which increase the surface area:volume ratio, therefore absorbing nutrients more efficiently.

False.


Is you true the magnetic field around an electromagnet can be made stronger by increasing current or decreasing the number of coils around the iron core?

No, you is false. Increasing current does it, but the number of turns in the coilalso must increase if you want to increase the magnetic field that way.


When temperature increases the kinetic energy of the particlles decreases true or false?

No. In gases, 'Absolute temperature' is proportionally related to the kinetic energy of the particles. Therefore, increase in temperature results in increase in the kinetic energy of the particles.


When you climb a mountain the air pressure increase true or false?

False, air pressure goes down as altitude increases. Air acts like water in the sense that they are both fluids. If you are on the surface of the earth you are in the bottom of the fluid just like water the pressure is higher on the bottom. So when you increase altitude you are reaching the top of the fluid therefore decreasing pressure.


Is it true or false that the frequencies of radiation increase as the wavelengths increase?

FALSE
