How many joules of energy in 1 stick of dynamite?
On average, a stick of dynamite contains about 1 billion joules of energy. This energy is released in an explosive reaction when the dynamite is detonated.
Was there a time when Earth didn't exist?
Yes, the Earth and other solar objects gradually formed from swirling space rocks and dust from old exploded stars about 4.5 billion years ago. As a matter of fact, everything on earth, including you, is made of materials that came from ancient exploded stars.
What decline did the explosives industry experience in the second half of the twentieth century?
dynamite declined in importance from about one billion pounds in the mid-1950s to approximately 100 million pounds in 1993.
When was the first black hole?
The first black hole was probably after the first population III star exploded about 13.1 billion years ago. One of which might be the black hole at the centre of our galaxy.
How many years ago did the world explode?
The Earth did not explode but it had a fairly heavy collision with a planet called Theia about 4.6 billion years ago.
According to the big bang theory how did the universe begin-?
The latest estimate is 13.7 billion years ago.
How much space if everyone is lined up shoulder to shoulder does the world's current population take up?
A reasonable packing would be three people to the square meter. The world's population in October 2008 is about 6.7 billion people. So we would need 2233 square kilometers or 862 square miles. If you moved all these people to New Haven County, Connecticut, USAwhich has that exact area, the whole population of the worldcould stand upright, three to a square meter, completely within its borders. (Does it have any lakes or rivers?) OK, 256 square miles is water, so 2 billion people will be treading water. Surely some of them can swim!
How many times has the sun exploded?
Never nor will it ever, our sun is too small to explode (nova or super nova) according to predominent theory in another 4 or 5 billion years it will expand into a red giant (turning earth into a cinder at the same time) then some time later as it consumes the last of its fuel become at white dwarf
What are facts about on the sun?
The age of the Sun is estimated to be: 4.6 billion years. Every 11 years sunspots 'explode. 100,000,000,000 tons of TNT' would have to be exploded almost every second to match the energy produced by the Sun every second.
Which of these exploded fourteen billion years ago The Sun The Milky Way Galaxy or The Whole Universe?
None of them. About fourteen billion years ago, an EXPANSION of space, NOT an explosion of anything, began. This expansion took matter "along for the ride," and continues ALMOST unchanged to this day. The general popular presentation of the BB -- where a clump of matter explodes into empty space -- is just wrong.
When you see a galaxy 8 billion light-years away you are looking how many years into the past?
When you see a galaxy that is 8 billion light years away, the light that's dribbling into your eye left that galaxy 8 billion years ago, and has been traveling toward you ever since then. If you just happen to see the galaxy explode or turn blue while you're watching it, you'll know that it actually exploded or turned blue 8 billion years ago. Similarly, if the galaxy explodes or turns green tonight, you won't know about that for another 8 billion years from tonight.
How is it possible the matter that makes up a star today may have been part of another star that died billion of years ago?
Such stars have exploded, for instance in supernova explosions; part of their matter went into space, where it mixed with the previously existing hydrogen and helium. This then became part of our Solar System (or other solar systems).Note that the Universe is about 13.8 billion years old (note: that's the time from the Big Bang); whereas our Solar System is about 4.6 billion years old.
