Are nuclear bombs stronger than the hurricane Katrina?
The total energy in a hurricane is considerably more than that released by even the largest nuclear bombs. However, the energy of a bomb blast is much more concentrated.
How much did the nuclear bomb little boy weigh?
8818.4905 pounds.
What is the surprising effect of the neutron bomb?
A neutron bomb, or enhanced radiation weapon (ERW), is a type of tactical nuclear weapon designed specifically to release a large portion of its energy as energetic neutron radiation rather than explosive energy. Neutron bomb would use nuclear fusion, but in a different way. The detonation of a neutron bomb would still produce an explosion, but one much smaller than a standard nuclear weapon's. The main effect of a neutron bomb would be the release of high-energy neutrons that would take lives far beyond the blast area. The result: fewer buildings, cars, tanks, roads, highways and other structures destroyed.
Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?
The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does it have?
Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.
Can nuclear power plants produce material that could be converted?
Nuclear energy is released from the nucleus when U235 fissions, it appears initially as kinetic energy of the fission fragments, these are then stopped in the fuel material and turned to thermal energy. We can't use the nuclear energy directly.
What are the effects of EMP explosion on the body?
First of all, EMPs don't really explode like a nuclear bomb. It releases alot of energy like a nuclear bomb. EMP's do not affect the body... that much.
Why does a nuclear bomb cause such a large explosion?
Because it releases much more energy in a much shorter time than chemical explosives can.
Are nuclear bombs stronger than the hurricane Katrina?
The total energy in a hurricane is considerably more than that released by even the largest nuclear bombs. However, the energy of a bomb blast is much more concentrated.
How much sadness a nuclear bomb can cause?
alot
Is there a difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear bomb?
There isn't much difference in these terms. Both refer to nuclear weapons, and they are general terms that can pretty much be used interchangeably.
Whats the difference between nuclear chemistry and nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is, primarily, the controlled (or, in a bomb, the uncontrolled) release of binding energy (Strong Atomic Force) in the nucleus of an atom by the process of fission or fusion. All nuclear power plants and the Atomic bomb use fission. The Sun and the Hydrogen bomb use fusion1. Nuclear chemistry, on the other hand, is the interrelationship between electron fields of various atoms as they interact to form various compounds, releasing and/or absorbing energy as they do so. Instead of the Strong Atomic Force, the electron field participate in the Electromagnetic Force, one of the other three primary forces. (The other two being the Weak Atomic Force, and Gravity.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1Technically, the Hydrogen bomb also uses fission. It requires so much energy to initiate the fusion reaction that we use an Atomic bomb to set off the Hydrogen bomb.
What kills more h-bomb or a-bomb?
different letters in the alphabetAn "A-bomb" is usually a fission bomb (plutonium or Uranium fissions = splits into lighter elements)An "H-bomb" is a fusion bomb wherein Hydrogen (or some isotope of it) "fuses" into heavier elements. Often an H-bomb needs the energy of an A-bomb to start its nuclear reaction but the output is SO much greater that the A-bombs energy output is dwarfed by the enormous fusion explosion.
Why is hydrogen bomb more powerful and destructive than the atom bomb?
The term atom bomb is somewhat ambiguous. The more precise distinction that you are trying to make is between a fission (or uranium or plutonium based) bomb and a fusion (or hydrogen based) bomb. The process of nuclear fission releases a certain amount of energy, and the process of nuclear fusion, per nucleus, releases a much larger amount of energy. Hence, you can build much bigger bombs based on fusion (although they still contain fission bombs which are required to create the high temperature needed for fusion).
How much did the nuclear bomb little boy weigh?
8818.4905 pounds.
How much does one nuclear bomb cost taxpayer?
40 bucks
What was the difference in the bombs?
The first one was a 'atomic-bomb' which used nuclear fission which is the splitting of 'large, heavy' elements. ie ones with a high mass number. The other type of bomb is a 'Hydrogen-Bomb' which is nuclear fussion; the same process as the sun produces energy. This is small atoms gaining a proton becoming a larger element. In this case Hydrogen is turning into Helium. This process produces much more energy.
