In a classical context, yes - an atomic bomb releases more energy than could by liberated through exothermic chemical reactions, and therefore the energy could be said to be created, since the classical law of energy conservation is violated.

.

In a quantum context, no - an atomic bomb converts potential energy, stored as mass in the nucleus of an atom, into kinetic thermal energy.

Is a tomic bomb is an example of fusion or fission or annihilation?

A atomic bomb is an example of fission, as it relies on the splitting (or fission) of heavy atomic nuclei to release a massive amount of energy. Fusion, on the other hand, involves the merging of lighter atomic nuclei, while annihilation is the complete conversion of matter into energy in particle-antiparticle collisions.


How did albert Einstein come up with the atomic bomb?

Albert Einstein did not invent the atomic bomb. His famous equation, E=mc^2, laid the theoretical foundation for nuclear energy, but it was physicists like J. Robert Oppenheimer and Enrico Fermi who played key roles in the development of the atomic bomb during the Manhattan Project in World War II.


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 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).


Is an atomic bomb patent?

Yes, the atomic bomb was patented by the United States government. The patent for the atomic bomb is recorded under the title "Method of Producing Excess Nuclear Energy" and was granted to the U.S. government in 1952.

What was Einsteins theory that was used to create the atomic bomb?

E=mc2. Because the atomic bomb contains an abundant amount of energy, and E stands for energy, used for the explosion. Which is because the atomic bomb contains a small piece of uranium which is triggered when the bomb lands. by:Kevin Sjogreen

How is the atomic bomb nuclear?

It gets its energy from the atomic nucleus.


Did the atomic bomb create global warming?

No, the atomic bomb did not create global warming. Global warming is primarily caused by human activities that increase greenhouse gas emissions, which trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. The atomic bomb explosions released large amounts of energy and radioactivity, but did not directly contribute to global warming.
