If a spherical bubble has a volume of 36 pi cm cubed calculate the surface area of the bubble?

you need to work backward for find the radius from the volume then work forward and find the surface area.
The volume is 36 Pi cm3
The formula for the volume inside of a sphere is 4/3 Pi x radius3
so 36xPi=4/3 Pi x radius3
So 108/4=the radius3 so 27 is the radius cubed hence 3 is the radius. This tells us the surface area is 4xPix32 =36Pi cm squared.
So in the surface area is also 36 but the units are square cm.

Why is a bubble spherical?
The spherical shape is the smallest surface area for a given volume. This comes about naturally when a surface under pure surface tension contains a fluid volume.
How to Maximize volume given surface area?
make it spherical
Calculate Volume of a Spherical tank?
A sphere volume = 4/3 pi r cubed
How do you calculate surface area to volume?
surface area divided by volume
In order to determine the amount of liquid a spherical tank will hold would you need to use volume or surface area?

How come bubble is round?
Bubbles are "generally" round due to the air pressure acting equally on them from all points around the outside of the bubble. A bubble is round as it is the most energy efficient configuration. The spherical shape also maximizes the ratio of the volume to the surface area.
How to Maximize volume given surface area?
make it spherical
How do you compare the surface are to volume ratio of cells of different size?
You need to:* Calculate the surface area * Calculate the volume * Divide the surface area by the volume
Calculate Volume of a Spherical tank?
A sphere volume = 4/3 pi r cubed
How do soap bubbles become round?
A sphere is the shape that has the largest volume and smallest surface area. the surface tension pulls the surface of the bubble in but the volume of air inside the bubble remains constant so the bubble wants to become a sphere.
How do you calculate surface area to volume?
surface area divided by volume
Does a basketball have a lot of surface to volume ratio?
No. A sphere has the smallest surface to volume ratio possible and a basketball is nearly spherical in shape (it has surface dimpling and seams).
How do you calculate surface area to volume ratio?
You measure or calculate the surface area; you measure or calculate the volume and then you divide the first by the second. The surface areas and volumes will, obviously, depend on the shape.
What happen to gas bubble volume as they rise in water?
As a bubble rises to the surface of a liquid the pressure on it is going DOWN. Therefore the bubble expands, and usually bursts at the surface.
