Any explosion is an example of mechanical engery even though it is initiated by a chemical or nuclearreaction. The explanding gases generated by the initial reaction exerts a force that destroys buildings and such.

Which is stronger Nuclear Bomb or Hydrogen Bomb?

Nuclear bombs is all types of bombs that use nuclear energy. It is not a type of bomb,just a category of bombs. hydrogen bomb is the strongest bomb ever, and its blast yield can go up to 100megatons of TNT.


What is degree of destroy that hydrogen bomb can do?

What size of Hydrogen Bomb? How many megatons? the biggest size of hydrogen bomb can done ...........


Why is Hydrogen bomb more destructive than atom bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is more destructive than an atomic bomb because it has hydrogen. Hydrogen is highly flammable, and if a hydrogen bomb exploded with enough force and just enough fire, a huge wide area of a fiery explosion will occur. This is more destructive than the atomic bomb. Fire basically engulfs everything and destroys all in its path, making for an effective bomb.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Wrong!Hydrogen does not burn in a hydrogen bomb, it fuses releasing atomic energy too. This fusion reaction is over in microseconds, much faster than combustion can start; also it reaches temperatures in the tens of millions of degrees, much hotter than any chemical fire or fission bomb. The reason a fusion bomb is usually more destructive than a fission bomb is the fusion bomb has no upper limit on yield, the fission bomb cannot be built with a yield over 1 megaton. One can just keep adding fusion stages until you get the desired yield.


What are the products of nuclear fusion in a hydrogen bomb?

The nuclear fusion uses Hydrogen to produce Helium. The fusion also releases a lot of energy, which is what causes the explosion.


Is hydrogen converted into plutonium in a hydrogen bomb?

No.

Why hydrogen is not an energy source?

Ever heard of the hydrogen bomb? It is less stable than you might expect. The above answer is not really correct. A hydrogen bomb is not related to hydrogen gas in this sense. You can run a car engine off hydrogen gas fairly easily and safely in a controlled environment. The problem is to find a cheap source of hydrogen.


How do you converts chemical energy into mechanical energy?

By building a bomb.


How you convert mechanical energy into chemical energy?

By building a bomb.


How is hydrogen converted into energy in a hydrogen bomb?

In a hydrogen bomb, the process of nuclear fusion converts hydrogen atoms into energy. This occurs when the nuclei of hydrogen isotopes, such as deuterium and tritium, combine to form helium, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.


What does the h in h-bomb stand for?

The "h" in "h-bomb" stands for "hydrogen." The hydrogen bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that uses nuclear fusion to release energy.


Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.


What is an hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb is a nuclear weapon that releases atomic energy by union of light(hydrogen) nuclear at high temperatures to form helium.


What form of energy does the hydrogen bomb use?

Atomic energy, released by the fusion of hydrogen isotopes to make helium.


How much mechanical energy is in a nuclear bomb?

The mechanical energy in a nuclear bomb is typically released as a result of the explosive force generated by the rapid chain reaction of nuclear fission or fusion. The exact amount of mechanical energy can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb, but it is usually in the range of millions to billions of joules.


Is the nuclear bomb more powerful than the hydrogen bomb?

Nuclear bomb can mean either fission or fusion bomb. Hydrogen bomb means fusion bomb. The fusion bomb can be built with any yield one wants, just by adding more stages with more fuel. The fission bomb has a theoretical maximum yield that cannot be exceeded.


What is the molecular formula of a hydrogen bomb?

There is no such thing. The hydrogen bomb is a very complicated mechanism, not a chemical!


What is the different between atomic bomb and hydrogen bombs?

The main difference between atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs is the source of their energy. Atomic bombs rely on nuclear fission (splitting atoms), while hydrogen bombs use a two-stage process involving both fission and fusion (combining atoms). Hydrogen bombs are more powerful and destructive than atomic bombs.
