How fast can the shockwave of atom bomb go?
The shockwave from an atomic bomb can travel at the speed of sound in air, which is around 1,125 feet per second (343 meters per second). This means that the shockwave can travel over great distances in a short amount of time, causing widespread destruction.
How does the neutron bomb work?
A neutron bomb is a type of hydrogen bomb. It actually was a development that came from the late 1950s work by the US to make "clean hydrogen bombs" that produced very little fallout. In a conventional hydrogen bomb the tamper (device to contain the nuclear reaction as long as possible to get as much energy from it as possible) is usually made with depleted uranium because of its high density and low cost. While depleted uranium will not support a neutron chain reaction it will fission when hit by the high energy neutrons produced by the fusion reaction of the hydrogen bomb. This depleted uranium fast fission can produce up to 90% of the total yield in some hydrogen bomb designs, as well as a proportional amount of the fallout. In a "clean hydrogen bomb" the tamper is instead made of some other very dense metal that unlike uranium will not fission when hit by high energy neutrons. Lead and tungsten have been used. However the explosive yield of a "clean hydrogen bomb" will be lower than a similar conventional hydrogen bomb because there is no fission in the tamper. But as these materials do not consume the high energy neutrons, they escape from "clean hydrogen bombs". It was observed that these neutrons easily pass through tank armor and building walls, killing those inside while the lower yield produces less blast and fire damage. Thus was born the idea of the neutron bomb.
What was the first hydrogen bomb?
The Mike shot of Operation Ivy on October 31, 1952 was the first hydrogen bomb. It used cryogenic liquid deuterium-tritium as the fusion fuel and had a yield of 10.4 megatons (8 megatons of this was from fast fission of the uranium tamper). The device itself, nicknamed "Sausage", measured 80 inches (2.03 m) in diameter and 244 inches (6.19 m) in height and weighed about 54 tons, its outer steel wall was 10 to 12 inches thick.
How fast were the winds of the Flint-Beecher tornado?
It is impossible to know exactly how fast the winds were as we did not have the tools to measure a tornado's winds back then. But since the tornado was rated F5 (equivalent to EF5 on the new scale) winds were probably well over 200 mph.
How fast do icebergs travel?
Icebergs can travel at a wide range of speeds depending on ocean currents and winds, but on average they can move at a speed of about 0.7-1.5 km/hr (0.4-0.9 mph). However, some icebergs have been known to move much faster under certain conditions.
How fast do winds travel on Neptune?
2,400 km per hour
How fast does a level 5 hurricane travel?
The categorization of hurricanes is not based on how fast they travel, but on how fast the sustained winds within a hurricane move at their fastest. A category 5 hurricane has winds of 156 mph or greater.
Each hemisphere has 2 narrow belts of fast moving winds called?
Each hemisphere has 2 narrow belts of fast moving winds called jet streams. They are located high in the atmosphere and can influence weather patterns and air travel routes.
How fast are the winds in the south pole?
Very Fast
What is the radius of the amount of land affected by radiation soon after the blast?
The exposure depends on the yield, altitude/depth, "dirtiness" of the device, and the winds. Deep underground or at very high altitude there may be no radiation exposure at all. High yield, surface bursts, and very "dirty" devices (e.g. hydrogen bomb with significant fast fission in uranium tamper) increase the quantity of fallout, which depending on the wind can travel hundreds or thousands of miles from the site of the blast in irregular patterns and produce lethal exposures.
What is the meaning of bomb explosion?
fast
How fast do storm winds have to be?
The regular storms have to be at least 40mph fast
How fast are the winds of a hurricane?
The winds of a hurricane must be at least 119 km/h.
How fast do winds blow on neptunes winds storm?
A little ove 750 mph that is

What category is a hurricane that's traveling 230km a hour?
A hurricane with 230 km/h sustained winds would be a category 4. Hurricanes don't actually travel that fast.
How fast did the winds go in Hurricane Katrina?
Hurricane Katrina had peak winds of 175 mph.
