Why do small planets cool faster than large planets? Choose any twoof the five Terrestrial worlds and calculate for each one the ratio ofits surface area to its volume. Why is this ratio important? (Hint: Doesthis ratio have anything to do with the ability of a planet to loseinternal heat?) (Note: The surface area of a sphere is 4πr2, and thevolume of a sphere is 4/3 πr3.)
Depreciation Methods
The word "depreciation" is defined as an accounting method wherein the cost of tangible assets is spread over its useful life and it usually denotes how much of the assets value has been used up. The depreciation is usually considered as an operating expense. The main reason behind depreciation includes wear and tear of the assets, obsolescence etc.
