Uranium-235 was used in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
The second atomic bomb was used on Nagasaki because Japan did not surrender after the first bomb on Hiroshima. The goal was to force Japan to surrender quickly and end World War II.
An atomic bomb uses nuclear fission or fusion to release a massive amount of energy. This is achieved by either splitting (fission) or combining (fusion) atomic nuclei, resulting in a powerful explosion.
The fissile fuel in the first 3 bombs was:Plutonium, Trinity test, July 16, 1945Uranium, Hiroshima attack, August 6, 1945Plutonium, Nagasaki attack, August 9, 1945Trinity test Gadget: Plutonium. First atomic bomb detonation.Hiroshima Little Boy: 80% enriched Uranium. First atomic bomb used in combat.Take your pick.
The Little Boy bomb, dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, used enriched uranium-235 as its fuel. This type of bomb is known as a uranium-based atomic bomb, and it functions through the process of nuclear fission.
The element first used for fission in an atomic bomb is uranium.
Plutonium was used in the Trinity test, Uranium in the first combat weapon.
they used uranium and plutonium.
Uranium-235 was used in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Both uranium and plutonium were used extensively to make the first two atomic bombs, dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, respectively.
A- bomb stands for Atomic Bomb, first tested and used in WWII.
Apparently it was plutonium which I think is element 295.Plutonium is element 94.Plutonium was used in the Gadget at Trinity.Uranium was used in the first bomb dropped on Japan the Little Boy at Hiroshima.Plutonium was used in the second bomb dropped on Japan the Fatman at Nagasaki.
First hydrogen bomb then nuclear missiles but they are never used because of the dropping of the atomic bombs on japan...
the bomb was nicknamed "Little Boy", and it used the element of uranium-235.
The first atomic bomb used against mankind exploded at 8.15 over Hiroshima.
Hiroshima was the first to be bombed in World War 2.
August 1945
