Divide kilotons by 1,102.31 to get approximate short (US) tons.
1 kiloton = 1000 tons.
Ounces, pounds, tons, kilotons.
Decitons, which are equal to 10 tons, are an uncommon but valid unit of measurement. Kilotons, which are equal to 100 tons, are much more commonly used.
16/1000 = 0.016
Length x width x depth in inches. Then x .00625 = tons
12.5 kilotons equates to about 13,778.89 tons (US).
1 kiloton = 1000 tons.
No. One kiloton equates to 12,500 metric tons.
Ounces, pounds, tons, kilotons.
Little Boy weighed 4.85 tons and had an explosive yield of about 15 kilotons TNT equivalent.If you really want Little Boy's weight expressed in kilotons it was 0.00485 kilotons.
Kilotons are used to measure the power of atomic bombs. A kiloton is the power equivalent of 1000 tons of TNT, a chemical explosive used in bombs. A 15 kiloton atomic bomb has the power of 15,000 tons of TNT.
Decitons, which are equal to 10 tons, are an uncommon but valid unit of measurement. Kilotons, which are equal to 100 tons, are much more commonly used.
Most nuclear bombs can be as strong as 20 kilotons (20,000 tons of TNT) up to 60 Megatons (60,000,000 tons of TNT).
Mega means millions.Mega means millions.Mega means millions.Mega means millions.
Little Boy had a yield of fourteen kilotons; the EQUIVALENT of 14,000 tons of TNT. Of course, no single bomber then or today could carry that much TNT, but the use of atomic reaction allowed for a bomb of similar destructive capability.Little Boy had no TNT in it at all. The chemical explosive used to assemble the uranium was cordite, ordinary smokeless powder.
Atomic bombs come in a wide variety of sizes. Their explosive power is usually measured in terms of an equivalent number of tons of dynamite. Smaller bombs range in the kilotons (thousands of tons) while larger bombs are in the range of megatons (millions of tons). Even a small atomic bomb is extremely powerful, much more powerful than any conventional bomb. A large atomic bomb can destroy an entire city.
1 million tons = 2 billion pounds or more commonly used as a measure of energy release in a nuclear bomb 4.184 petajoules
