The initial impetus for the US to develop the atomic bomb is that a number of physicists suspected that the Nazis were working on one; they brought this to the attention of the US government (specifically, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt) who authorized the research projects which lead to the bomb. The reason it was completed even after it became clear that Germany could not possibly develop the bomb before the end of the war was, basically, inertia: when that many people have been working on a project for that long it's hard to just stop.
What else can I help you with?
Where did the atomic bomb get its power?
The atomic bomb gets its power from the process of nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing a large amount of energy. This energy is what causes the destructive force of an atomic bomb.
What is the circumference of an atomic's bomb explosion?
The circumference of an atomic bomb explosion can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb. In general, the blast radius of a typical atomic bomb explosion can extend several miles from the epicenter.
Who discoverd the atomic bomb?
The atomic bomb was developed during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project. The project was spearheaded by the United States and led by scientists such as J. Robert Oppenheimer, who is often credited as the "father of the atomic bomb."
What is the difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear weapon?
An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases energy through nuclear fission (splitting of atomic nuclei). Nuclear weapon is a broader term that encompasses atomic bombs, as well as hydrogen bombs which release energy through nuclear fusion (combining atomic nuclei).
What was the name of atomic bomb test site?
