How much do atomic bombs weigh?
It depends on the size of the bomb
How much power did the atomic bomb have?
Which one? There are many atomic bombs and nuclear warheads that were built throughout time.
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.
How much heat can an atomic bomb create?
Atomic bombs are a perfect example of a nuclear reaction that causes massive destruction. Atom bombs have a power equivalent to millions of tons of ordinary explosive. The temperatures of fusion nuclear explosions can go up into the millions of kelvin.
What are some bad thing about nuclear bombs?
Nuclear bombs are so powerful, and release so much radioactive fallout, that any large-scale use of nuclear bombs would kill everbody and make the world uninhabitable.
How have bombs changed since world war 2?
Bombs have changed so much over 60 years. Atomic bombs are much more powerful than there WW2 counterparts. Smart bombs and tracking bombs are also a new powerful addition.
Does atomic explosion and nuclear explosion mean the same?
This question could be easily misconstrued. While atomic and nuclear explosion mean the same thing, and all atomic bombs are nuclear bombs, not all nuclear bombs are atomic bombs. The more powerful nuclear bombs are hydrogen bombs, and there is a very important fundamental difference between the two. ============================================================== A bomb is fission - the splitting of an atom H bomb is fusion - the joining together of atoms (and much more powerfull)
Which is most powerful a nuke an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb?
An H-Bomb is 1000 times stronger than an atomic bomb. Atomic explosions are based on splitting atoms and is a fission explosion or fission bomb. The Hydrogen bomb (also called H-Bomb) is a Fusion reaction where atoms are forced together. Atomic bombs were used in World War II, Hydrogen bombs have been tested, but not used in war.
Where were the first nuclear bombs dropped?
A nuclear bomb has never been dropped. It was an atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima ans Nagasaki. An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. Nuclear bombs have much more impact than atomic bombs, and could potentially end the World if a nuclear war was started.
How much do atomic bombs weigh?
It depends on the size of the bomb
What is the atomic bomb and how do you make it less powerful?
An atomic bomb is any bomb that derives its energy from the atomic nucleus, it may do this by either the process of fission of heavy nuclei or the process of fusion of light nuclei. Atomic bombs can also be called nuclear bombs.I don't really understand what you mean by "make it less powerful". The US has made tactical atomic weapons with yields as low as 0.1KTon (100 tons TNT equivalent), however I don't know if they are still stockpiled (they are very inefficient and wasteful in their use of plutonium). For optimal efficiency in use of uranium or plutonium in pure fission atomic bombs, a yield of 200KTons to 400KTon is preferred, however I know no such bombs are still stockpiled as compact fusion bombs in this yield range and higher are both more efficient and much cheaper to build.
Are A-Bomb and H-Bomb the same?
They are similar, but different. Research continued after WWII and developed more efficient methods of producing nuclear explosions. H-bombs are very much more powerful that A-bombs were.
How much energy was in the atomic bombs that were dropped in Hiroshima?
It was about 12 kilotons.
Where did they drop the bombs at in world war 2?
If you are talking about the atomic bombs, they were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If you mean normal bombs... pretty much everywhere...
How much power did the atomic bomb have?
Which one? There are many atomic bombs and nuclear warheads that were built throughout time.
Why did they not drop any more bombs on Japan?
Assuming you mean Atomic Bombs, it was because they didn't have any, and besides, how much punishment should be enough for the Japanese to see the writing ion the wall? The fire bombing of Japan before the use of Atomic weapons had been far more devastating and wide-spread than the Atomic Bomb later were.
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.
