An object with a large surface area has what air resistance?

An object with a large surface area experiences greater air resistance because there is more surface for the air to push against as the object moves. This can slow down the object's motion more significantly compared to an object with a smaller surface area.


Why does an object with a large surface area reach terminal velocity before an object with a small surface area?

An object with a large surface area experiences more air resistance, which increases as the object accelerates. This causes the object to reach terminal velocity quicker compared to an object with a smaller surface area, which experiences less air resistance and takes longer to reach terminal velocity.


What is Device with a large surface area that warms the surrounding air by conduction?

A radiator is a device with a large surface area that warms the surrounding air by conduction. It transfers heat from a hot surface to the air through direct contact, heating the room efficiently.


Why does a large object absorb and emit radiation faster than a small object?

A large object has a greater surface area, allowing it to absorb and emit radiation at a faster rate compared to a smaller object. This is because the larger surface area provides more contact points for radiation to be absorbed and emitted.


How many different types of radiators are there?

There are several types of radiators including panel radiators, convector radiators, column radiators, and electric radiators. Each type has its own design and heating capabilities to suit different needs and preferences.

What stars are cool and bright stars?

To be bright you need to be hot, close or have a large surface area. The brightest coolest stars are red super giants. They have such a large surface area, that even though their surface temperature is cool - in star terms - their large surface area makes them appear bright.


Why is it important that the gills of a crayfish give them a large surface area?

It is important that the gills of a crayfish give them a large surface area because it helps the crayfish to breathe. The bigger the surface area, the more oxygen in the crayfishes system.Ê


Are roots adapted to take in water because they have a small surface area?

No.Plant roots have large surface area,roots have root hairs to increase the surface area so that large amounts of water can be absorbed easily.
