What is the different between atomic bomb and hydrogen bombs?
The main difference between atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs is the source of their energy. Atomic bombs rely on nuclear fission (splitting atoms), while hydrogen bombs use a two-stage process involving both fission and fusion (combining atoms). Hydrogen bombs are more powerful and destructive than atomic bombs.
What is the Difference in radiation - atomic vs hydrogen bombs?
Atomic bombs use nuclear fission, where heavy atomic nuclei split into smaller ones releasing energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs use both nuclear fission and fusion, with fusion reactions involving the combining of light atomic nuclei to release even more energy and radiation. Hydrogen bombs are typically more powerful and produce higher levels of radiation compared to atomic bombs.
How big was the atomic bomb in size and power?
The bombs used in ww2:Gadget, sphere 5 feet in diameter, weight 10000 pounds, yield ~20 kilotonsLittle Boy, 10 feet long and 4 feet in diameter, weight 9000 pounds, yield ~13 kilotonsFatman, 10 feet long and 5 feet in diameter, weight 10000 pounds, yield ~22 kilotonsHowever since then bombs have been built in a wide range of sizes: SADM, sphere 11 inches in diameter, weight 50 pounds, yield 10 tons to 1 kiloton depending on configurationIvy Mike, 20 feet tall and 6.7 feet in diameter, weight 164000 pounds, yield 10 megatonsTsar Bomba, 26 feet long and 6.9 feet in diameter, weight 60000 pounds, yield 50 to 58 megatons (depending on method of measurement)etc.
What bombs are much more powerful than the atomic bombs?
Thermonuclear or hydrogen bombs are significantly more powerful than atomic bombs. These bombs use a two-stage process that combines nuclear fission and fusion reactions, resulting in a much larger explosive yield.
What was an effect of the dropping of atomic bombs with its own atomic?
The dropping of atomic bombs during World War II on Hiroshima and Nagasaki resulted in widespread destruction, loss of life, and long-term health effects due to radiation exposure. It also led to the end of the war, but sparked ethical debates about the use of nuclear weapons and their impact on civilian populations.
How long was the first atomic bomb?
All the early atomic bombs were 10 feet long, the length of the longest bomb that fit in the B-29 bombbay.
How many feet did the atomic bombs drop?
In very rough figures the B-29s were flying at about 30000 feet of altitude when they dropped the bombs and the bombs exploded at about 1500 feet of altitude. You can estimate from there.
Did the atomic bomb drop on the ocean?
The atomic bombs went off almost 2000 feet in the air.
How long was the atomic bomb?
If you are referring to the WW2 atomic bombs, 120 inches or 10 feet because anything longer would not fit inside the B-29 bombbay. If you meant something else, please clarify as atomic bombs were made in a variety of sizes after the war for various uses.
Where was the second atomic bomb landed?
The atomic bombs did not land, they were detonated 2000 feet in the air above Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
What bombs were made because of atomic bombs?
More & higher yield atomic bombs, I guess.
In what war were the atomic bombs dropped?
Atomic bombs were dropped in WWII
Is uranium in atomic bombs?
Yes, uranium can be used in atomic bombs.
What are injustices of the US dropping the atomic bombs?
Total war means atomic bombs.
Where were atomic bombs droped?
During WWII the atomic bombs were dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
Did japan believe the us had the atomic bombs?
No. The US gave them cryptic messages about the bombs and never told them they had atomic bombs.
How long did it take to make all three atomic bombs?
As of august 1945 the US had the industrial capacity to make 3 atomic bombs a month. In november 1945 this would increase to 7 atomic bombs a month. As Japan surrendered before this, the US scaled back production and had only made 9 atomic bombs by the end of Operation Crossroads in the summer of 1946, five of which had been detonated.
