  • Ratio of Volume to Surface area of a Rectangular Prism

    In your article, you have noted that the deceleration due to friction is a function of the ratio of the volume of the object to the total surface area of that object.

  • Cells & Plant Seed Characteristics

    Solution: The main reason why a cell divides into smaller cells when it grows is due to the surface area (SA) to volume ratio problem. When a cell grows, both its surface area and its volume increase -- obviously.
