How many times Will Canada fit in Queensland?
About 0.17 times. The surface area of Queensland, Australia is 1,730,620 square kilometers, while Canada has a surface area of 9,986,000 square kilometers, about 6 times larger.
Does Canada has a larger surface area and a significantly larger population than the US.?
As noted in the expert answers: Canada has a larger surface area than the USA. Canada has a much smaller population than the USA. With 3 expert answers, this can be retired from the featured questions.
Who has more need for drink in a dry desert climate a child or an adult?
A child. The rate at which a creature dissipates heat (cools down) is directly proportional to it surface area. Larger surface area=more rapid cool down.
What is the difference in construction between power diode and simple diode?
Basically the semi-conductor junctions are a larger surface area and heat sinks are part of the design to dissipate heat.
Why does direct sunlight produce more heat than indirect sunlight?
It is because the vertical rays covers the larger surface area where as the slanting rays does not.
What happens to surface area when rocks are broken into smaller pieces?
As a substance is broken, the surface area greatly increases. For example a 2 meter cube has a total surface area of 24 square meters. If a 1 meter cube is cut out of one corner, the total surface area is now 30 square meters.
Does a whole mint last longer than pieces of mint?
Yes. A whole mint has less exposed surface area. A mint that is broken in pieces has more exposed surface area and thus will dissolve faster.
What is size of solute?
It is the amount of surface of a solute that is exposed to the solvent. The smaller the pieces of the solute are, the larger the surface area that is exposed to the solvent.
Which has a larger surface area powder or lumps?
A powder has a larger surface area.
Why is it helpful to have rocks broken into smaller and smaller pieces?
It is helpful because it increases surface area available for the chemical weathering process.
Why are charcoal pieces often broken up into smaller pieces before they are used in barbecue pits?
They provide a greater surface area to burn therefore giving more heat.
How does the mechanical digestin change the surface area of food?
Breaking down of large macromolecules to monomers is known as catabolism. More the substance is broken down, larger its surface area gets. A particle with more surface area can be easily be metabolized by our body. Enzymes can act with full tendency on particles that have larger surface area and then an be easily digested and absorbed by out boy.
How does surface area affect damping of an oscillation?
The larger the surface area, the larger the damping of an oscillation
What are the advantages and disadvantages of adding ice in one large pieces rather than in sevaral small pieces in the calorimeter during the experiment of finding the latent heat of water?
It's a cumulative effect, the surface area difference of the large vs small pieces increases as melt does. Besides over time, the smaller pieces of ice have a greater surface area exposed to the liquid associated with the large pieces, smaller pieces have a larger surface area exposed as a ratio to their overall mass as time goes on.
How does a cell's ratio of surface area to volume change as the cell grows larger?
As the cell grows larger the ratio of surface area to volume increases. Larger cell = more volume for the amount surface area.
How does the action of chewing help the enzymes?
The action of chewing breaks the food down into smaller pieces, thus creating a larger surface area exposed to digestive enzymes. The larger surface area enables a larger amount of food to be digested at a given time. Maybe your parents were on to something when they told you to chew your food well.
How does breaking up solid speeddissolving in liquid?
Breaking up the solid into smaller pieces increases the amount of surface area exposed to the solvent. Because the solvent is acting over a larger surface area, the rate of dissolving increases.
