How do you think a more powerful weapon such as the hydrogen bomb would fit within the policies of brinkmanship and massive relationship?
excellent
How is explosion of fireworks a chemical change?
Explosions could be caused by a chemical reaction, or they could have a mechanical cause. It could even be nuclear. If a stick of TNT goes off, it's chemical, while a compressed gas cylinder with a failing weld that explodes while being filled is mechanical. A nuclear weapon is driven by nuclear reactions. All involve a rapid and violent release of energy. The thing that makes an explosion is the speed of the activity, whether it be chemical or mechanical. A high explosive anti-tank round is a chemical weapon, while a ballistic "spear" (perhaps made with depleated uranium) used to defeat modern armor is a mechanical weapon.
Is the element aluminum explosive or noxious?
Aluminium is not explosive or anxious.
What is the role of tritium in a nuclear bomb?
Tritium gas is injected into the hollow weapon pit (the "core") to boost the nuclear yield of the explosion. Weapons that use tritium injection are called "boosted weapons".
Is fusion the difference between a nuclear weapon detonation and a conventional explosion?
Yes, the conventional explosives would trigger an explosion of the conventional explosives inside the nuclear bomb which would blow apart the nuclear components of the nuclear bomb, causing significant alpha emitter radiological contamination but no nuclear yield.
What was the purpose of the war manhatten project and how did it result in the end of the war against japan?
it was a secert program. the goal was to develop an atomic bomb, a weapon the produces tremendous power by splitting atomics.
What produces a mushroom cloud?
A mushroom cloud is the product of a very large explosion, such as from the detonation of a nuclear weapon. The cloud itself is formed by the rapidly rising ball of hot gasses.
Nuclear weapons in which enormous energy is released by nuclear fission?
During the detonation of a nuclear bomb an enormous amount of energy is released as fission due to the splitting (fissioning) of atoms of uranium or plutonium. In the case of a simple nuclear weapon (such as those dropped on Japan during World War 2) this is where the explosion stops. In the case of a hydrogen bomb, also referred to as a thermonuclear weapon, the energy released by the fission is used to trigger the fusion of atoms of hydrogen, releasing energy in the same way that the sun produces energy.
What is the difference between a bomb and an nuclear bomb?
Basically, a conventional bomb uses a chemical explosive as the source of its destructive power. A nuclear weapon uses nuclear material to create an explosion. A nuclear explosion is much larger, and also emits ionizing radiation. A chemical weapon does not emit any radiation. A nuclear weapon's yield is measured in Kilotons (thousand tons). In very simplified terms, this means that a nuclear weapon with a 475 kiloton yield produces an explosion comparable to 475,000 tons of TNT (TNT is a chemical explosive). That's A LOT of TNT and it would take up a bit of space. A nuclear weapon with this yield may only be a few feet long and a foot wide, and the actual nuclear material may be the size of a grapefruit.
Can you give me the image of the nuclear weapon?
You could kindly refer to the links below for the images of nuclear weapon designs and their explosion consequences.
An Electromagnetic pulse is one of the effects caused by?
The explosion of an atomic weapon can cause an EMP.
If a nuclear weapon exploded on a nuclear Power Plant would the explosion radius increase?
No, but there would be more release of radioactivity because the reactor itself would probably be melted in the explosion.
Was the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki a surprise to the Japanese?
no we warned them that we had a massive weapon that we are not afraid to use and they did not reply
What can one do with an EOTech 512 weapon?
Eotech 512 doesn't actually produce weapons, but they produce weapon accessories. Some of the weapon accessories that EOTech 512 produces are sniper sights.
What is nuclear weapon?
An explosive device that uses massive conventional explosives to split radioactive atoms and cause a MASSIVE release of energy by nuclear fission or fusion. A BIG BOOM!!!!
What would you propose to help the curb the development of atomic weapon?
Safely obliterate all atomic weapons and never make such a massive weapon again ever in the entire world.
Best weapon in world war 1?
the best weapon ever used in ww1 is the machine gun because it stabelized the front and cuased massive losses on both side
