Bombs made of explosive materials have been around for several centuries.
The first bombs were made of black powder and detonated with a burning fuse; later chemical explosives like nitroglycerin and Mercury fulminate were used. Since nitro was highly unstable and dangerous to use TNT dynamite was developed. Since them several more advanced explosives like Amatol and C-4 have been developed.
What else can I help you with?
Has the Atomic bomb been replaced by something else since world war 2?
No, but now we have two types of atomic bombs: fission and fusion. The world war 2 bombs were only fission.
What type of atomic bombs did America drop on Japan?
Easy. Basically there were two types of nuclear bombs (Atomic bombs). One is fusion and the other is fission. Fusion bombs are Hydrogen bombs that were only invented and tested on 1950s. When America drop the bombs on Japan , it was fission type. Both Uranium and Plutonium in Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively.
Why did u.s atom bomb over japan and not over Germany?
Germany surrendered in April 1945Atomic bombs became available in July 1945Japan was attacked with 2 atomic bombs in August 1945Japan surrendered on August 15, 1945, officially on September 2, 1945No atomic bombs existed before Germany surrendered! The first one was exploded in the Trinity test at Alamogordo, NM on July 16, 1945. There were only two more bombs, of two different types, being assembled. These were used on Hiroshima (August 6) and Nagasaki (August 9), and for a short time, there were no available atomic bombs. Japan did not know that.
Is an atom bomb the same as an atomic bomb?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission to cause near perpetual chains of reactions. Nuclear warheads (Nukes) just sums up all the different types, including hydrogen bombs (which use nuclear fusion, a much more potent type of power) and atomic bombs. So yes, they are the same.
What were the atoms in the atomic bombs that destroyed hiroshima and nagasaki?
Two isotopes were used. Uranium 235 for Hiroshima. Plutonium 239 for Nagasaki.
What types of atomic bombs were developed in the Manhattan project?
See website: Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
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.
Has the Atomic bomb been replaced by something else since world war 2?
No, but now we have two types of atomic bombs: fission and fusion. The world war 2 bombs were only fission.
Three types of atomic explosions?
The three types of atomic explosions are fission, fusion, and dirty bombs. Fission involves the splitting of atomic nuclei, fusion combines atomic nuclei, and dirty bombs involve conventional explosives combined with radioactive materials. Each type of explosion can have different effects and consequences.
What 2 types of energy does nuclear bombs use?
Nuclear bombs primarily use two types of energy: fission and fusion. Fission refers to the splitting of atomic nuclei to release energy, while fusion involves combining atomic nuclei to release energy, both of which are harnessed in the explosive reactions of nuclear bombs.
Are there different types of atomic bomb?
Yes.TacticalStrategicFission - uranium, plutonium, compositeFusionSolid coreLevitated coreBoosted coreConventional fusion - 90% fission from U-238 fusion tamperClean fusion - ~5% fission mostly from primary & sparkplugDirty fusion - bomb is salted with elements intended to intensify falloutNeutron bomb - a small Clean fusion bomb intended to intensify neutron radiationetc., etc., etc.
How many bombs can a B-29 bomber carry?
A B-29 Superfortress could carry a maximum bomb load of approximately 20,000 pounds (9,072 kg). This included a variety of munitions, such as conventional bombs, incendiary bombs, and even atomic bombs. In a typical configuration, it could carry around 10 to 12 bombs weighing 1,000 pounds each. However, the exact number varied depending on the mission and specific bomb types used.

What elements besides uranium plutonium and hydrogen can be used to make atomic or thermonuclear bombs?
Other elements that can be used to make atomic or thermonuclear bombs include beryllium, lithium, and thorium. These elements are used in the production of certain types of nuclear weapons to enhance their yield and efficiency.
What Types of nuclear bombs are there?
fission and the fusion types
