Most likely it would just shatter it into smaller asteroids, which might do more total damage than the original asteroid.
We don't know much about fusion as it is still very experimental. It will not produce the dangerous fission products that fission does, but it may have other dangers unknown as yet. Nuclear fusion has more destructive potential than fission. Fusion is the principle powering the H-bomb developed in the Cold War. Just to put the power of a Fusion bomb in perspective, it is detonated by a fission bomb half the size of the one dropped on Japan. THAT'S JUST THE DETONATOR.
No, it is not correct; only a nuclear chain reaction can be stopped with control rods.
When the n/p ratio becomes equal to one, nuclei will get stability.As a result reaction will stop.
A massive star with iron in its core will stop nuclear fusion, leading to its collapse and eventual explosion as a supernova. Iron is the element at which fusion becomes endothermic, meaning energy is no longer released in the process.
you stop skiing on a hill or use a bomb to make the avalanche happen then so it doesn't happen later
Most things would not.
There is no data about it.
Im pretty sure that a tornado isnt strong enough to stop and ansteriod..... So the asteroid would just go through the tornado
Small asteroids can be deflected by explosives (ordinary or nuclear) if they are far enough away. The problem is getting the explosives there. Asteroids travel at orbital speeds of thousands of kilometers an hour, and a large rocket would be required to reach the asteroid and match its speed, so that it could rendezvous and detonate. Hitting an asteroid with a head-on shot would be extremely difficult if not impossible, and could result in a shower of smaller pieces hitting the Earth.
Once the bomb has gone off, no one can stop it.
a car bomb
You are just crazy!! This would scatter radioactive contamination over a huge area and contribute absolutely nothing to cleaning up and containing the present problem.
Asteroid belt is hotter because when it comes down fast it cannot stop til it lands somewhere to stop it.......... this is stupid
size doesn't matter its the angle and speed of the asteroid that it is at, plus if that did happen the earth would either drift off into space and eventually get back into a orbit because of the suns gravity or explodes and everything would just flip, roll over, fall how ever you wanna put it. plus its nearly impossible for a asteroid to do that it would probably do what i said in the second sentence.
I dont understand the question. why would America having the atomic bomb stop the USSR from spreading communism? Because if so it didn't. It spread to Cuba,Yugoslavia, North Korea, Plus parts of South Africa. While the US had the Atomic bomb.
The Manhattan Project was the code name of the atomic bomb building project that was taking place in America during World War II. The argument for the creation of the bomb was that the Germans were in a race to develop nuclear weapons, and the US wanted to have the technology first. Then, the rationale for dropping the bomb changed focus to Japan when it was believed that they would not stop the fighting unless extreme force was used against them.
Slim Pickins, in the movie "Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb." I'm not aware of any real-life examples.
