The first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, during the Trinity test in New Mexico as part of the Manhattan Project.
Trinity site, NM in the north east corner of what is now White Sands Missile Range, July 16, 1945
The average weight of a 1st grader is typically around 50-60 pounds, but it can vary depending on factors such as height, gender, and overall health. It's important to consult with a pediatrician for specific guidance tailored to an individual child.
The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy of an isolated system is constant.
We have a definition problem to handle here first: any bomb that gets its energy from the atomic nucleus(regardless of method) can be referred to as either an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb.There are two different processes by which the bomb can extract this energy:Fission of large unstable nuclei (e.g. Uranium-233, Uranium-235, Plutonium-239) into smaller nuclei.Fusion of small nuclei (e.g. Deuterium, Tritium) into larger nuclei (e.g. Helium). As Fusion can only happen at very high temperatures (i.e., 10,000,000K) it is often referred to as Thermonuclear Fusion.Fission explosives are limited in yield by the amount of fuel that can be placed in the core of the device without risking criticality before it is desired to have the device detonate (if this happens the device will most likely just melt and kill anyone nearby). The theoretical highest yield of a pure Fission explosive is roughly 1 MTon, the highest yield pure Fission bomb tested was a US MK-18 airdropped as the Ivy King shot in 1952, with a yield of about 500 KTons. The core of the MK-18 was a hollow sphere containing FOUR CRITICAL MASSES of Oralloy (93.5% enriched Uranium-235). To prevent premature criticality the hollow of that sphere was filled with a boron/aluminum chain to absorb neutrons, that was only removed minutes before release from the bomber (this chain could NOT be put back in to safe the bomb).Fusion explosives operate on a "Staged" principle: the Primary or 1st stage is a Fission explosive, which emits X-Rays used to compress and heat the Secondary or 2nd stage (the actual Fusion explosive). There is no criticality issue with Fusion, you can make the Secondary almost as big as you want with as much fuel as you want. If that isn't enough for the yield you want, additional Fusion stages can be added that are successively triggered by X-Rays from the previous stage compressing and heating the new stage. There is no theoretical limit on number of stages, and the only practical limit is what can fit in and be carried by the delivery vehicle. The highest yield Fusion bomb tested was the USSR AN602 airdropped as the Tzar Bomba (King of bombs) in 1961, with a yield of about 50 MTons. It was a 3 stage device, capable of a yield of 100 MTons if they had wanted to go all the way.However, we have a complicating factor, almost no modern nuclear explosive is pure Fission or pure Fusion. It is often much cheaper, smaller, and lighter to build for example a miniaturized Fusion explosive than a pure Fission explosive of the same yield. So, many Fusion (aka Thermonuclear) bombs actually have far lower yield and extent of damage than some Fission bombs.
The man who dropped the 1st atomic bomb said "BOMBS AWAY!"
August 6, 1945.
1st Atomic Bomb- (FAT MAN) Hiroshima 2nd Atomic Bomb- (LITTLE BOY) Nagasaki Actually, the first bomb dropped was Little Boy, and that was on Hiroshima. Fat Man, the second bomb, was dropped on Nagasaki.
The first atomic bomb was detonated on July 16, 1945, during the Trinity test in New Mexico as part of the Manhattan Project.
To end World War 2.
August 6, 1945 Hiroshima
The 1st atomic bomb codenamed the "Gadget" was exploded on July 16, 1945 SW of Socorro, New Mexico. It was an implosion type bomb using Plutonium 239. It was a test of nuclear bombs codenamed the "Trinity" test.The 2nd atomic bomb codenamed "Little Boy" was exploded on August 6th, 1945 over the city of Hiroshima in Japan. It was a gun type bomb using Uranium 235. It was the 1st bomb dropped in anger.The 3rd atomic bomb codenamed "Fat Man" was exploded on August 9th, 1945 over the city of Nagasaki. Like the Gadget it was an implosion type bomb using Plutonium core.
1st atomic bomb is called Little boy, 2nd one is called Fat man
Against a foreign enemy it was first dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945.
Leo Szilard invented the atomic fission bomb in 1933 while in London, and patented it in 1934. However no material that fissioned was known at the time, so the bomb was not possible to build at that time.Otto Frisch discovered fission of Uranium-235 in 1938 while in Berlin, making the atomic fission bomb possible. However Uranium-235 is only 0.72% of natural Uranium and purifying it is difficult and expensive, so an atomic fission bomb could not be built immediately.The US Manhattan Project built the expensive industrial infrastructure it purify Uranium-235 and manufacture Plutonium-239 between 1942 and 1945. Resulting in a usable atomic fission bomb by 1945.
yo dawg, methinks their was 90,000-166,000 killed in Hiroshima60,000-80,000 killed in Nagasakifrom wikipedia, and C-$
That is the time of 1st atomic bomb dropped in to Hiroshima in Japan by Americans.
