Yes because they have a larger surface area exposed to room temperature. Generally the smaller the object the larger the surface area. This is why small animals get colder quicker than large animals. Some animals have adapted their bodies to increase or reduce their surface area. For example, the ears of an elephant gives it a much larger surface area relative to its size.

Do hot water pipes freeze faster than cold water pipes?

Why is the second paragraph a contradiction of the first? If hot water pipes 'Absolutely' do not freeze faster than cold water pipes then why the comment about the cold water pipes having a larger diameter which causes them to freeze at a slower rate than the smaller hot water pipes? Also, the word then in the last line should be thanand there should be an a between usually and larger. And, piping should be changed to pipe.


Do bigger wheel roll faster?

No. Bigger wheels roll slower than smaller wheels. They roll slower because they have a larger circumference and they take longer to roll. Smaller wheels have a smaller circumference meaning they go faster.


Is a deciliter smaller or larger than a milliliter by a factor of?

A deciliter is larger than a milliliter by a factor of 100.


Does cubed or crushed ice melt faster?

Crushed ice melts much faster than cubed because crushed ice is smaller. Crushed ice melts faster because it has a larger surface area exposed to the air or liquid its in. It is also less dense and will be more subject to temperature change because of it.


Why do smaller particles dissolve faster than larger ones?

With smaller particles there is more surface area for the solvent to reach. Less surface area means less places where the solvent can dissolve. Think about grain salt v. a salt block. If you pour the same amount of water on both, the water will reach and dissolve a majority of the grain salt immediately. However, the water will only touch the outside of the block salt. The middle would remain untouched.

Is a smaller or lighter car necessarily faster?

A lighter car is not necessarily faster than a smaller car, as it depends upon the power of the vehicle. If the question is asking whether a smaller or lighter car is necessarily faster than a larger car, again the answer is "no". The larger car can easily be more powerful.


Do different amounts of water freeze at the same temperature?

Yes, different amounts of water will freeze at the same temperature. Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius, regardless of the volume of water. However, larger volumes of water may take longer to freeze completely due to the increased amount of thermal energy that needs to be removed.


What happens to matter as it is heated and cooled.?

When heated it get larger and when you freeze it the matter gets smaller with an exeption to ice


How the size of particles affect the way the particles dissolve?

The smaller the particle the faster it dissolves. This is because the process by which a solute dissolves takes place at the surface of the solvent. That means the larger the surface area of a particle or solute, the faster the solute will dissolve.


What pulley turns faster?

The pulley with the smaller diameter will turn faster than the pulley with the larger diameter, assuming both are connected by a belt or chain. This is due to the relationship between the rotational speeds and the circumferences of the pulleys.
