What plane drooped the atomic bomb in world war 2?

The atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, by the United States B-29 Superfortress bomber named Enola Gay. Piloted by Colonel Paul Tibbets, the aircraft released the bomb known as "Little Boy," which was the first nuclear weapon used in warfare. A second bomb, "Fat Man," was dropped on Nagasaki three days later by another B-29, named Bockscar, piloted by Major Charles Sweeney. These bombings played a significant role in leading to Japan's surrender and the end of World War II.

What plane dropped the nuclear bomb in World War 2?

The Enola Gay dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945.The bomber named Bockscar dropped the bomb on Nagasaki on August 9. Both aircraft were B-29 bombers that operated from a special unit; the 509th Composite Bomb Group.Over the years, there has been some confusion concerning the name of the bomber that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki. Some have claimed the plane was named Bock's Car or Bocks Car. The name that appears on the front of the plane is Bockscar. The plane was originally assigned to Captain Frederick C. Bock. However, due a mix-up regarding how each of the mission's planes were equipped, Bockscar was flown by Sweeney instead of Bock.See the related links for more information and a photo of Bockscar.

An aeroplane flying at a constant velocity releases a bomb. As the bomb drops down from the aeroplane what will be the position of the bomb with respect to the plane?

There are two forces on the bomb when it is dropped; horizontal, and vertical. The vertical force is gravity, and the horizontal force is the velocity of the plane when the bomb is dropped. In order to determine how far away the bomb will drop from the initial point of release, it is necessary to know the height that the plane is at, and the velocity of the plane, which is also the initial horizontal velocity of the bomb (it is constant, neglecting air resistence.)
