A timer controlling when neutrons willl be lanuched and absorbed by the atom bomb...therefore contolling when a critical mass will be reached and when a nuclear raection will take place leading up to the explosion. <22> The nator geniuzzz <22>
If you are asking specifically about the two bombs dropped on Japan in WW2, they were fuzed for airburst, so they did not hit the ground. Both exploded between 1500 ft & 2000 ft altitude. Airburst was selected to maximize blast & thermal flash damage effects area.
The US was capable of producing 3 atomic bombs a month at the end of WW2. This would suggest it took a bit over a week to make each bomb kit. However it isn't that simple, the 3 bomb per month bottleneck was the Hanford plutonium production reactors: each of the 3 reactors could make 1 bomb worth (6.2 kg) of plutonium a month and they ran in parallel.
The purpose of the letter from Albert Einstein to FDR was to alert the president about the potential development of atomic weapons by Nazi Germany and to urge the United States to start its own nuclear research program. Einstein stressed the importance of nuclear technology for national security and encouraged the U.S. to take the lead in nuclear research.
Fusion reactions occur in the core of stars, where extremely high temperatures and pressures allow atomic nuclei to overcome their electrostatic repulsion and merge. Fission reactions are generally carried out in nuclear reactors, where heavy atomic nuclei such as uranium or plutonium are bombarded with neutrons to split into smaller nuclei and release energy.

The Atomic Bomb set the stage.
you take it and drop it at any place that doesn't enjoy you
No test shots were done in Arizona.
that the communist would take over the American government (@p3x )
August 6, 1945. The second bomb was dropped three days later on August 9.
yes
See: Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The US were working on the bomb since 1941 up to 1945 when the first bomb tested.
It didn't take 1 day to make the atomic bomb, it took most of WW2 for the US to create it with testings.
I can't tell if you're trying to make a joke or not. There were no "sticks of dynamite" used in the atomic bomb.
still, an normal atomic bomb is more powerful. a thermonuclear bomb can easily take out a base since the thermal energy it produces will easily deep-roast everything it touches, but it doesnt turn an entire city into ash in seconds, as do with a normal atomic bomb.
