Implosion is a process in which objects are destroyed by collapsing in on themselves. explosion, implosion concentrates matter and energy. An example of implosion is a submarine being crushed from the outside by the fluid-pressuref the surrounding water.

What is the difference between an explosion and an implosion?

Explosion is an extream outword force and a implosion is a extream inword force useally in a center point or in some cases it just collapses in on it self on a center point useally making a black hole but it has to be really huge to do that


Why does soda implode when turned upside down in cold water?

When a sealed soda bottle is turned upside down in cold water, the air inside the bottle cools, causing it to contract and create a vacuum. This lower pressure inside the bottle then crushes the bottle as there is greater pressure from the surrounding water, leading to implosion.


Why is hot material not kept in desiccator?

Hot materials are not kept in a desiccator because the sudden cooling caused by placing a hot material in a desiccator can create a vacuum inside the desiccator, leading to potential implosion. Additionally, the hot material can release gases or vapors that may react with the desiccant or other substances present in the desiccator.


What causes a can with boiling water in it implode when put into a bucket with cold water in it?

When a can with boiling water is placed in cold water, the temperature difference causes the air inside the can to rapidly cool and contract. This decrease in pressure inside the can creates a pressure difference between the inside and outside, leading to the can imploding as the external pressure crushes it.


How are atomic bombs made?

Much of the design particulars are top secret-Q but basically you need a mass of fissile material (usually plutonium) large enough to be able to reach supercritical mass and support an uncontrolled nuclear reaction. The explosion is triggered by compressing the plutonium by an implosion to assemble the initially subcritical mass into a supercritical mass rapidly (a couple milliseconds). once the material reaches supercritical mass, a neutron source is fired through it to start the reaction at the optimal time. about 4µs to 7µs later the bomb explodes. The longer the design is able to hold the bomb together, the higher the yield when it does disassemble.
