Since the bag is packed and sealed in ground-level atmospheric pressure, it gets round and firm like a little foil balloon in the reduced air pressure at altitude. When it's opened, there's a little "tssss" as a bit of the air inside the bag rushes out into the lower pressure. If the bag is inside an airliner at 30,000 ft, it is immediately torn open and the chips eaten; nobody notices or pauses to reflect on the fine points of air pressure and atmospheric science.

How much would 30 percent of 30000 be?

To calculate 30 percent of 30,000, you would first convert 30 percent to a decimal by dividing by 100, which gives you 0.30. Then, you would multiply 0.30 by 30,000 to find the answer. Therefore, 30 percent of 30,000 is 9,000.

What would happen to the speed of sound at a very high altitude?

The speed of sound increases with altitude due to the decrease in air density. This means that at very high altitudes, where air density is lower, the speed of sound will be faster compared to at sea level.


How and why would a bag of chips explode or implode as you move up in altitude. What about a bottle of soda Would it implode or explode?

As you move upward the external pressure decreases. Thus all would try to "explode" ... but your examples would probably not (they would resist the pressure drop).
