Many bombs but the most common were the V-1 and the V-2 bombs.
The V-1 & V-2 were not used in the blitz, they did not exist then. The blitz was at the beginning of WW2, from 1940 until Hitler turned on Russia in 1942. The V-1 & V-2 were not available until Germany was already beginning to lose the war in 1944.
Bombs dropped during the Blitz were ordinary high-explosive "dumb" bombs, what are today typically labeled as an "iron bomb" - a steel casing filled with some form of high explosive. The most commonly used ones by German bombers were 100kg and 250kg bombs, with some incendiary (fire-causing) bombs also mixed in.

Has the Atomic bomb been replaced by something else since world war 2?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.
How many different types of bombs were used in world war 2?
3 types - High explosive (aka General Purpose) and Incendiary and "Butterfly" anti personnel bombs. Bombs came in various sizes from 100 to 10,000 pounds the most common being 500 and 1000 pounders.
What bombs where used in the blitz?
The Nazi Germans used "self flying bombs" known as V2 rockets. There were two types actually. The second type they developed could fly into London and it was so quiet you could not tell where and when the rocket would land. These bombs were the precursors to the missiles we have now. There were also the bombs dropped by the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) on the Royal Army Air Force locations, the seaports and cities.
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.
Give an example of how a new or improved weapon helped one side to win a medieval battle or war Short answer please?
Well the most obvious one of the 20th century would be the improvement of bombs and specifically ones delivered from the air. Aerial bombing was introduced early during the First World War (1914-1918). Essentially in early bombing campaigns the pilots simply tossed hand-grenades out of the planes on top of enemy positions. Both the German and the British quickly realized that this was a way to damage enemy installations with fair accuracy. They then developed all sorts of gravity bombs that could be dropped by hand, and eventually attached to rail systems under the plane. During the Second World War saw the improvement of these types of munitions which went on to include extremely heavy payloads dropped by large bombers; yes, the bomber had to be developed to accommodate these munitions and deliver them long distances and accurately. There were several innovations in this respect including incendiary bombs, culminating with the two most notorious bombs of all - Little Boy and Fat Man, the two nuclear bombs that were dropped at the end of World War Two. During the Cold War, flying fortresses on both the side of the USA and USSR were developed to extend the delivery platform to an intercontinental level, along with ICBM's. During the last part of the 20th Century a host of air dropped munitions were developed from cluster bombs to smart munitions that could be guided by infra red or radar onto a target once released from the plane. This included "bunker busting" and thermobaric or fuel-air bombs.
