What is a megaton?
A Megaton is the explosive force equal to that of 1 million metric tons of TNT. It is approximately 4.2 x 1015 joules.
How do you use the word megaton in a sentence?
This is a sentence! A megaton is an explosive force of 1 million tons of TNT.
How many joules in 1 megaton?
1 megaton TNT = 4.184 petajoules ( 4.184 x 1015 J )
4 megatons equals how many tons?
Megaton and ton are different things: megaton is a unit of enery; ton a unit of weight. A megaton is the energy released from detonation of TNT. A ton is 2,000 pounds.
What was equal to 21000 atomic bombs?
There is no "nominal" atomic bomb, their yields can vary from less than 100 tons TNT equivalent to nearly 1 megaton TNT equivalent. Therefore there is no single meaningful answer to this question. Hydrogen bombs have no upper limit for yield!
How many tons of TNT would it take to produce a 2 megaton explosion?
2,000,000. By definition.
What produces 4 Peta Joules of energy?
If I've kept my units straight, that's about a megaton of TNT. Thermonuclear bombs and earthquakes are about all I can think of that release that amount of energy in a short time.
Does a megaton equal a million kilograms?
No, a million kilograms are a thousand tons. A megaton is a million tons.
What is A nuclear explosion which releases energy equivalent to seven million tons of TNT called?
Is called a 7 megaton burst
How much power is in a megaton bomb?
A 1 Megaton (million ton) nuclear warhead has the destructive power of 1 million tons of TNT.The measurement comes from the use of TNT's explosive power in quantity. The Trinity test site at Alamogordo, New Mexico, prior to the first nuclear test, was calibrated using TNT prior to the main test.
What is the strength of 1MT nuclear bomb?
Blast yields are compared to their approximate explosive power equivalent to TNT. A 1 Megaton explosion is equivalent to the explosive power of approximately 1 million tons of TNT.
Why was the atomic bomb dropped on Japan in world war 2 have so much TNT?
The bomb did not have tnt. The atomic power is measurred using tnt was the base. TNT is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 gigajoules, which is approximately the amount of energy released in the detonation of one ton of TNT, and a bomb with one kiloton has the blast compared to one ton of tnt.
