Why can't we hear nuclear explosions?
Nuclear explosions produce a shock wave that moves faster than sound, so the initial blast is typically heard after the explosion has occurred. Additionally, the energy released during a nuclear explosion is so intense that it can damage the eardrums of anyone within range before they have a chance to perceive the sound.
What is a nuclear explosion?
Nuclear explosion is a dangerous nuclear device that frees nuclear energy. A Nuclear explosion is a uncontrolled explosion that is a result of a collision of molecules that split apart the atom on the molecular level and emits electrons, protons and gamma radiation and causes a chain reaction as these particles collide with more atoms. This produces extreme temperature levels and shock waves. The gamma radition disappates away from the explosion and also is absorbed into the debris and smoke particles and this will travel with the wind to carry the radiation for many miles. This is called "fall out" as the particles will fall to earth and expose everything to deadly radiation levels. If the nuclear explsion is denoted under the ground on in Space the effects are different. In space, there is no atmosphere to transmit the heat and shock waves so most of the engery is dissapted in electrons and radiation. The protons/electrons will travel out and contact the earth's upper atmosphere over an area the size of the United States. The result of this collosion will be an electronic pulse that is transmitted to the earth. This Electro-Magnetic Pulse (EMP) will travel to the surface of the earth and damage or disable most electronic devices that are not protected. This protection is similar to lightning protection but it has to be covering the device from all exposure. The EMP will also impinge on long unprotected wires and transmite an electrical spike down the wire and can damage whatever device is on the other end.
What stops a nuclear explosion?
It's not clear exactly what you mean here. If you're asking how a nuclear explosion is prevented in a stored nuclear device, the radioactive material is kept separated into pieces below the critical mass at which normal radioactive decay becomes a runaway chain reaction. It's also possible to keep a pile subcritical by the use of neutron-absorbing "damper" materials. If you're asking "if a nuclear bomb went off, what could protect you from the explosion"... then a sufficient quantity of dense, strong material would do so. The quantity required depends on the material, but this is basically the purpose of a "bomb shelter"... it's a structure designed to withstand the shock wave of a nuclear blast, either because it has thick sturdy walls or because it's underground with the ground itself doing the bulk of the work of the barrier.
What do you do if you are caught in a nuclear explosion?
If caught in a nuclear explosion, seek shelter immediately in the nearest building or underground area to protect yourself from radiation and heat. Cover your mouth and nose with a cloth to avoid breathing in radioactive particles, and stay indoors until authorities announce it is safe to go outside. Follow emergency instructions and evacuate the area if directed to do so.
What makes nuclear bombs so powerful?
The energy is obtained from the Strong Nuclear Force, which binds the atomic nucleus together, not the Electromagnetic Force, which binds electrons to the atom. The Strong force is about 1000 times stronger than the Electromagnetic force, therefore can provide about 1000 times the energy of a chemical reaction/explosion using a similar mass of fuel.
What happened some years ago in Russia from nuclear explosion?
When and what explosion? One of the nuclear test shots. If so which?Remember Chernobyl was not a nuclear explosion, it was a steam explosion and graphite fire.
Why did a nuclear explosion happen?
because the bomb was designed to make it so.
Is nuclear power the answer to your energy needs?
Nuclear Power is NOT NECESSARY. So many people die when there's a nuclear explosion. It is also really bad for the environment.
If a pure gold plate is exposed to a direct nuclear explosion will it be able to shield the explosion?
If you were to use pure uranium you may be protected but the uranium may kill you in the process anyway so lets just say this equation:- HUMAN + NUCLEAR EXPLOSION= BARBEQUE
Why is North Korea so obsessed with obtaining nuclear weapons?
Because they are deadly people

The of the reaction in a nuclear reactor must be controlled so that it may produce heat rather than a violent explosion?
speed
What would happen if you nuked the sun?
Nuking the sun is not possible with current technology. However, theoretically, if it were possible, the sun is so massive that a nuclear explosion would have negligible impact on it. The sun's nuclear fusion reactions are much more powerful than any man-made nuclear explosion.
What makes it so hot inside a star?
Nuclear fusion.
Is beryllium harmfull?
yes it is so harmful, it is toxic!!!!!!! you can get lung cancer if you are exposed to it. it is very deadly, it is used in nuclear work!!!!!!
What makes black panthers so deadly?
Black panthers are no more deadly than a normally colored leopard or jaguar. They are just better at hiding in the night or in shaded areas and this makes an ambush easier.
When gas and fire come together what makes the explosion?
An explosion is caused by fuel burning very rapidly. The products of combustion expand rapidly and with extreme force, and the result is what we call an explosion. So...if you put gasoline on a fire and it explodes, as it will, the explosion was caused by the fire.
