Nuclear bomb explosion detonation point?
The detonation point of a nuclear bomb explosion is where the bomb is triggered to release its energy. This can occur either in the air, on the ground, or underwater, depending on the desired impact and effect of the explosion. The detonation point is carefully chosen to maximize the destructive potential of the bomb.
How far can a nuclear bomb travel?
A gravity dropped nuclear bomb could fall several tens of thousands of feet from bomber to detonation. A ballistic missile's warhead could travel tens of thousands of miles from launch site to detonation.
What effect of a nuclear detonation often causes lung damage and ruptured eardrums?
The intense blast wave from a nuclear detonation is responsible for causing lung damage and ruptured eardrums. The rapid change in air pressure can lead to these injuries by creating a powerful shockwave that propagates outward from the explosion.
Can a nuke trigger another nuke?
If 2 nuclear weapons were targeted close together in all probability the first one to detonate would probably kill the other, preventing its proper detonation. This is called nuclear fratricide, it is caused by the burst of neutrons from a nuclear detonation. These neutrons trigger a predetonation fizzle yield in nearby bombs. To prevent this if adjacent targets are too close, the bursts are separated in time instead typically using a marching targeting pattern that proceeds across the area of targets with individual bursts widely separated in time and space.
What is the initial temperature of a nuclear detonation?
The initial temperature of a nuclear detonation can reach temperatures of millions of degrees Celsius. These extreme temperatures are a result of the intense energy released during the nuclear fission or fusion process.
