The same as is stored in other bombs and even ordinary nonexplosive objects: mass energy. The amount of this energy in a given object in conventional units is given by the well known equation E=Mc2, or in relativistic units by the equation E=M.
The difference is the atomic bomb is able to release a much larger amount of this energy because it can convert more of its available mass to energy.
Note: in the fatman bomb which had a yield of about 22 kilotons, the bomb weighed 10,000 pounds (4536 kilograms), the plutonium core weighed 6.2 kilograms; only about 700 grams of the plutonium fissioned and only about 1 gram of mass was converted to energy! An explosion of 22 kilotons of ordinary TNT also converts only about 1 gram of mass to energy.

What type of bomb was drop on japan?
atomic bomb
What type of bomb was used in hiroshima?
An Atomic Bomb I think.
What were the first two WW2 atomic bombs made of?
The first a-bomb called (Little Boy) was a uranium gun-type atomic bomb.The second a-bomb called (Fat Man) was a plutonium implosion-type bomb.
Elements in the first atomic bomb?
The 1st atomic bomb codenamed the "Gadget" was exploded on July 16, 1945 SW of Socorro, New Mexico. It was an implosion type bomb using Plutonium 239. It was a test of nuclear bombs codenamed the "Trinity" test.The 2nd atomic bomb codenamed "Little Boy" was exploded on August 6th, 1945 over the city of Hiroshima in Japan. It was a gun type bomb using Uranium 235. It was the 1st bomb dropped in anger.The 3rd atomic bomb codenamed "Fat Man" was exploded on August 9th, 1945 over the city of Nagasaki. Like the Gadget it was an implosion type bomb using Plutonium core.
What new type of bomb us dropped on japan?
little boy and fat man they dropped the newly created atomic bomb on japan
What type of energy is stored in an atomic nuclei?
The weak force and the strong force.
Are the a bomb and h bomb the same?
Yes and no.A-bomb or Atomic Bomb is a generic term simply meaning a bomb getting its energy from the atom. This name has become commonly used to mean Fission bomb.Nuclear Bomb is a generic term simply meaning a bomb getting its energy from the nucleus of the atom, can be used interchangeably with Atomic bomb as a generic term.Fission Bomb is a term for a specific type of Atomic/Nuclear bomb getting its energy from the fission (breaking up) of large atomic nuclei (e.g., Uranium or Plutonium).Fusion Bomb, H-bomb, or Hydrogen Bomb is a term for a specific type of Atomic/Nuclear bomb getting its energy from the fusion (combining) of small atomic nuclei (e.g., Deuterium or Tritium).Most modern Nuclear Weapons use combinations of Fission and Fusion to get desired results. This makes it hard to put them in fixed categories.Hope this helps some to clarify things.
What type of bomb was drop on japan?
atomic bomb
What were other option rather an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs are a type of Nuclear bomb and there are 2 types of nuclear bombs. The second type of nuclear bomb is a hydrogen bomb.
What type of bomb was used in hiroshima?
An Atomic Bomb I think.
What type of energy is stored in battteries?
what type of energy is stored in batteries
What type of energy of rest or stored energy?
Energy is stored in form of chemical energy. It is stored in object at rest.
What type of energy is stored in a banana?
A type of chemical energy.
What kind of bomb exploded in Nagasaki?
It was a plutonium implosion type. So it was an atomic bomb.
Which bomb has a faster energy nuclear bomb or atomic bomb?
I am not sure what is meant by the phrase faster energy. As far as the difference. A nuclear bomb can refer to a fission device (also known as atomic bomb). Or it can be a thermonuclear device (combining both fission and fusion reactions), which yields a larger blast energy from the same amount of material.For some reason, links are not allowed to be added right now, so go to Wikipedia and type in "Nuclear Weapon" for more information.
What type of bomb is used now to replace the atomic bomb?
First hydrogen bomb then nuclear missiles but they are never used because of the dropping of the atomic bombs on japan...
What were the first two WW2 atomic bombs made of?
The first a-bomb called (Little Boy) was a uranium gun-type atomic bomb.The second a-bomb called (Fat Man) was a plutonium implosion-type bomb.
