How many miles can a nuclear bomb reach?
The range of a nuclear bomb depends on its size and type. Intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) carrying nuclear warheads can reach distances of up to thousands of miles. Some ICBMs have a range of over 6,000 miles.
How many miles could the effects of a nuclear bomb reach?
This depends on many variables including yield, weather, height of burst, "salting" of the tamper, etc. Without knowing these your question cannot be answered. The idea that these bombs "implode then explode" has something to do with the range of the effects as given in the expert answer is complete nonsense. Especially since gun type nuclear bombs do not implode during the assembly of a supercritical mass. Some effects like fallout and EMP can reach distances of many thousands of miles under the right conditions!
An aeroplane flying at a constant velocity releases a bomb. As the bomb drops down from the aeroplane what will be the position of the bomb with respect to the plane?
There are two forces on the bomb when it is dropped; horizontal, and vertical. The vertical force is gravity, and the horizontal force is the velocity of the plane when the bomb is dropped. In order to determine how far away the bomb will drop from the initial point of release, it is necessary to know the height that the plane is at, and the velocity of the plane, which is also the initial horizontal velocity of the bomb (it is constant, neglecting air resistence.)
How are nukes made?
Nuclear weapons, or "nukes," are made using nuclear fission or fusion reactions. This involves harnessing the energy released by splitting or combining atomic nuclei. The process requires highly enriched uranium or plutonium and sophisticated engineering to create a controlled chain reaction. The final product is a powerful device capable of releasing immense destructive energy.
How can a nuclear bomb destroy life?
There are three main methods a nuclear bomb can destroy life. These three methods have major differences that set them apart in terms of the speed and extent of their effects. 1. The explosion The most obvious way a nuclear bomb can kill is by the explosion it creates. This explosion and the related shockwave releases an incredible amount of energy, killing any life within range almost instantly, and destroying human infrastructure, potentially killing large populations rapidly. Although the initial explosion causes significant damage to a large area, the next two methods of killing cause even more widespread damage. 2. The radiation The next method of nuclear destruction is the radiation released by the nuclear bomb. This radiation can kill most living creatures in a matter of days, and the radiation affects a larger area than the initial explosion. The radiation can persist for years and still be deadly. In addition, strong pulses of electromagnetic radiation released by the nuclear explosion can disable many electrical circuits, causing widespread blackouts and bringing entire countries to a standstill. 3. Nuclear Winter Nuclear winter is caused by extreme atmospheric changes following a nuclear explosion. During a nuclear winter, dust and debris becomes so thick in the upper atmosphere that light from the sun cannot reach earth's surface. Without sunlight, plant life will slowly begin to die, causing a collapse in most food chains on the planet. The lack of sunlight would also plunge the planet into an ice age, which would kill off plants and animals who are unable to adapt to the sudden drop in temperature. This method kills the slowest, but has the potential to cause a mass extinction of most species on the planet. It is often an unintended side effect of nuclear weapons, because it affects the entire planet, including the country that launched the attack.
Was it right to drop a nuclear bomb on Nagasaki?
Most people think so.
How big does a plane have to be to drop a nuclear bomb?
That depends on how big the nuclear bomb is.
Who Decided to drop the nuclear bomb?
President Truman.
Did England drop a nuclear bomb on Japan?
No, that was America
What president made the decision to drop the nuclear bomb?
ronald regan
Did the UK or America drop a nuclear bomb on the Taliban?
no!!! nuclear weapons have not been used since ww2.
Why did the Allies decide to drop nuclear bombs on Japan?
to end the war, ASAP.
What would happen if they just drop a bomb on the nuclear plants?
Widespread radioactive contamination
How do you kill a ninja banananet?
take a b-2 bomber and drop a nuclear bomb on it
How do build a nuclear missile?
Build a missile for launching satellites into orbit. Build a nuclear bomb. Replace the satellite payload of your missile with that nuclear bomb. Adjust the missile guidance system to drop the bomb on a selected target instead of injecting it into orbit. Simple?
What type of plane carried the first nuclear bomb?
A B-29 bomber, named Enola Gay, carried the first nuclear bomb. It was used to drop the atomic bomb, "Little Boy," on Hiroshima, Japan, on August 6, 1945.
Why did little boy drop?
As with any gravity bomb, conventional or nuclear, once released from the bomber's bomb bay the force of gravity accelerates it downward.
