If you have a handful of cold particles, and you want to toss them into a glass
of water in order to cool it, then it'll happen faster if the particles are small.
That way, there is more cold surface area in contact with the water to
conduct heat out of it, and all of this is the main reason why the bartender
uses crushed ice in most drinks.

Given the same amount of water how does pot size affect the amount of time it takes to boil water?
The larger the surface area the quicker it will boil (i.e. a large pan will boil quicker than a small narrow pan).
Why the water flows faster through the cylinders containing large particles than through the cylinders containing smaller particles?
because the surface area of the larger particles propels them faster which has a recipical effect on the water around the particles
Why cant you see a laser beam if its in pure water?
Because there are no particles large enough to reflect the light back to the viewer.
How do the hand dryer evaporates the water?
The hand dryer heats the water, meaning that the particles move around quicker and escape from the liquid. The hand dryer also acts like wind: it blows the water vapour away from the surface, making room for more water vapour. This means that the water evaporates more easily.
Does sound travel quicker in air or water?
WATER! because it is more dense
What is the process in which fast water carries large particles and slow water carries small particles?
erosion
Are there more particles in a beaker with a large amount of water in it or a beaker with a small amount of water in it?
There will be more particles in a pitcher with more water.
Why do the tea particles spread out quicker in hot water then cold water?
This can be explained using particle theory. The hotter the water is, the more energy the water has. The more energy the water has, the more its particles will move. Therefore, the the hotter water is, the more its particles move. Because the particles move more and faster, they 'bump into' more tea particles, which causes the tea particles to move more. The more the tea particles move, the quicker they will spread through the water and the quicker they can diffuse.
Why is diffusion in hot water faster?
because the hotter the water the quicker the particles move
Given the same amount of water how does pot size affect the amount of time it takes to boil water?
The larger the surface area the quicker it will boil (i.e. a large pan will boil quicker than a small narrow pan).
What is percolation in a water cycle?
when water percolates through small soil particles it travels downwards till it is held by large particles of soil or it reaches the ground water table. sometimes collection of large soil particles also holds the water from further travel
How can sugar be dissolved in water quicker?
you can heat it up, the water, or grind the sugar into smaller particles! try both! =)
Do water particles move in large circles true or false?
Water particles move in circles
What are the functions of the large and small intestines?
the small intestine is the primary site for the digestion and absorption of food. the large intestine mainly functions to absorb excess water and electrolytes from undigested food particles. --thoughtfulobserver
What are the functions of the small and large intestines?

What are the function of the small and large intestins?
the small intestine is the primary site for the digestion and absorption of food. the large intestine mainly functions to absorb excess water and electrolytes from undigested food particles. --thoughtfulobserver
In what temperature does sugar dissolve faster?
yes, because if the water is a higher temperature when the sugar is dissolving in it, then the particles of the sugar move around faster and mix with the water particles quicker
