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 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).


How many times does ones go into 30000?

You find out "how many times 1 goes into 30000" by dividing: 30000 divided by 1 = 30000. So 1 can go into the number 30000 times. Maybe that's not what you are looking for. Well the ones place in this number is the rightmost digit, which is a zero. So if that is what you want, then the answer would be 0.


What is the difference between a negative the altitude and a positive altitude?

Altitude describes an object's position relative to sea level. An object in a position higher than sea level would have a positive altitude, sea level would have an altitude of zero, and any object below sea level would have a negative altitude.
