What is the meaning of 15 kilotons of energy?
Kilotons are used to measure the power of atomic bombs. A kiloton is the power equivalent of 1000 tons of TNT, a chemical explosive used in bombs. A 15 kiloton atomic bomb has the power of 15,000 tons of TNT.
Did the atomic bomb use fussion for its explosive power?
The atomic bombs used during World War II used fission to produce the nuclear chain reaction.
How many atomic bombs is the equivalent of 7.8 on the Richter scale?
It is not possible to directly equate the energy released by an earthquake to the explosive power of atomic bombs. The Richter scale measures the magnitude of an earthquake based on seismic waves, while atomic bombs release energy through nuclear fission or fusion. The destructive power of an earthquake cannot be accurately converted to the number of atomic bombs.
What is used in atomic bombs?
Uranium which is a fuel is used in atomic bombs and in nuclear power stations.
What element was used to make atomic bombs dropped on japan during World War 2?
The weapon was developed by the Manhattan Project during World War II. It derived its explosive power from the nuclear fission of uranium 235.
What does atomic bombs use for its explosive power?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission or fusion to release a massive amount of energy. In nuclear fission, atoms are split to release energy, whereas in fusion, atoms are combined to release energy. This energy release creates a powerful explosion.
What were aw bombs?
AW bombs, or atomic weapons, refer to explosive devices that derive their destructive power from nuclear reactions, either fission (splitting atomic nuclei) or fusion (combining atomic nuclei). They were developed during World War II, with the first successful tests occurring in 1945. The use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki marked a significant turning point in warfare, leading to widespread devastation and loss of life, as well as ushering in the nuclear age. Their existence has since prompted ongoing debates about ethics, deterrence, and global security.
What does an atomic bomb use for explosive power?
TNT(Trinitrotolune)
How much power did the atomic bomb have?
The atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 had an explosive yield equivalent to approximately 15 kilotons of TNT. This explosion resulted in massive destruction and loss of life in the city.
Why go from atomic energy to a bomb?
Actually the bombs came first, nuclear power plants were not developed until the early 1950s
Which Allied Power ordered the dropping of the atomic bombs?
United States
Why was over 200000 atomic bombs were made?
to ahow "we got power"
