That is called Yield and it varies with design. I know of tested bomb designs with yields from 100 Tons to 50 Megatons TNT equivalent.

How much mechanical energy is in a nuclear bomb?

The mechanical energy in a nuclear bomb is typically released as a result of the explosive force generated by the rapid chain reaction of nuclear fission or fusion. The exact amount of mechanical energy can vary depending on the size and yield of the bomb, but it is usually in the range of millions to billions of joules.


How much heat would a nuclear bomb produce?

The amount of heat produced by a nuclear bomb varies depending on the size of the bomb. A typical nuclear bomb can release millions to billions of degrees of heat within milliseconds, resulting in temperatures hotter than the surface of the sun at the point of detonation.


How much force generatated from nuclear explosion?

The force generated from a nuclear explosion depends on the size and type of the bomb. A typical nuclear bomb can release energy equivalent to millions to billions of tons of TNT, resulting in a massive blast wave and widespread destruction. The force is typically measured in kilotons (thousands of tons of TNT) or megatons (millions of tons of TNT) of explosive power.


Which is more destructive a nuclear bomb or a hydrogen bomb?

A hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear bomb) is more destructive than a regular nuclear bomb (fission bomb). Hydrogen bombs release much larger amounts of energy and have the potential to create significantly more devastation and damage.


How much did the nuclear bomb little boy weigh?

The Little Boy nuclear bomb weighed about 9,700 pounds (4,400 kg).

Is there a difference between an atomic bomb and a nuclear bomb?

There isn't much difference in these terms. Both refer to nuclear weapons, and they are general terms that can pretty much be used interchangeably.

Is a hydrogen bomb a nuclear type of energy?

Yes, a hydrogen bomb, also known as a thermonuclear bomb, is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a huge amount of energy through nuclear fusion reactions. This energy release is much more powerful than that of a typical atomic bomb, which relies on nuclear fission reactions.


How much does one nuclear bomb cost taxpayer?

What would happen if US was hit with a nuclear bomb?

One bomb? Not much. Thousands of bombs? Severe disaster.


Where were the first nuclear bombs dropped?

A nuclear bomb has never been dropped. It was an atomic bomb that was dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima ans Nagasaki. An atomic bomb is a nuclear weapon. Nuclear bombs have much more impact than atomic bombs, and could potentially end the World if a nuclear war was started.


Is an atomic bomb or a nuclear bomb more powerful?

The terms "atomic bomb" and "nuclear bomb" are general terms and can pretty much be used interchangeably. That said, there isn't any difference between them, and one is not more powerful than the other in that light.
