Bubble wrap sells in sheets, and each sheet has 1 million individual spherical bubbles, each with a diameter of 0.01 m. What is the total volume of air contained in the bubbles of two sheets of bubble wrap? Round to the nearest tenth.

radius of each bubble = .005 m or (1/2) cm

volume of each bubble
= (4/3)π(1/2)^3 cm^3

so 1 million of them
= 1000000(4/3)π(1/2)^3
= appr 523598.78 cm^3
= appr .5236 m^3

a bit over 1/2 cubic metre

Come on dude. People actually want homework help here.

To find the total volume of air contained in the bubbles of two sheets of bubble wrap, we need to determine the volume of a single bubble and then multiply it by the total number of bubbles in two sheets.

First, let's calculate the volume of a single bubble:

The diameter of each bubble is given as 0.01 m. Since the bubbles are spherical, we can calculate their volume using the formula:

Volume = (4/3) * π * radius³

The radius is half the diameter, so it will be 0.01 m / 2 = 0.005 m.

Now we can substitute the values into the volume formula:

Volume = (4/3) * π * (0.005 m)³
Volume ≈ 5.24 × 10^-8 m³ (rounded to eight decimal places)

Now we can calculate the total volume of air contained in the bubbles of two sheets:

Each sheet contains 1 million bubbles, so two sheets will have a total of 2 * 1 million = 2 million bubbles.

Total Volume = volume of a single bubble * total number of bubbles
Total Volume ≈ 5.24 × 10^-8 m³ * 2 million
Total Volume ≈ 1.048 × 10^-1 m³
Total Volume ≈ 0.105 m³ (rounded to three decimal places)

Therefore, the total volume of air contained in the bubbles of two sheets of bubble wrap is approximately 0.105 cubic meters.
