Atomic Bombs
Atomic bomb is an explosive device in which a large amount of energy is released through nuclear reactions. This makes an atomic bomb, more properly called a nuclear weapon, a much more powerful device than any conventional bomb containing chemical explosives. The first Atomic Bombs were used during World War 2 in 1945 by the US onto 2 Japanese cities.

How did the ww2 end in 1945?
Asked by Wiki User
World War II ended in 1945 with the unconditional surrender of Germany on May 8th and the surrender of Japan on August 15th. The surrender of Germany was signed in Reims, France, and the surrender of Japan took place on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. These surrenders marked the end of the war in Europe and the Pacific, respectively.

You can't.
If you mean in a video game (e.g. Fallout New Vegas), then state which one you're talking about.
Can you compare the atomic bomb to the hydrogen bomb?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, however on one level they are the same thing as both obtain their energy from the release of excess nuclear binding energy. However as the terms have traditionally been used the differences are as follows:
- atomic bomb, a rather simple bomb operating with nuclear fission of heavy element(s) within a "prompt supercritical mass" of a fissile isotope initiated by a pulse of neutrons. The most commonly used fissile isotopes are plutonium-239, uranium-235 (uranium-233 could also be used but has properties similar to plutonium-239). The yield of such a bomb is limited to less than one megaton (with the highest yield such bomb ever tested only half that).
- hydrogen bomb, a rather complicated bomb operating with nuclear fusion of light element(s) compressed and heated using x-rays generated by either an atomic bomb or another hydrogen bomb in a previous "stage" of the bomb. This "staging" principal permits the yield of a hydrogen bomb to be as large as desired, also the yield can be increased (as well as the fallout) by enclosing the bomb in uranium (even the nonfissionable isotope uranium--238 usually considered "waste" after enriching uranium-235 for atomic bombs can be used) which will be fissioned by the high energy fusion neutrons. This can multiply the yield of the bomb by a factor between 2 to 10 times!
What are the reasons for using mesh networking?
Asked by Sadeq
Mesh networking is a type of network in which each node relays data for the network. This type of network is very reliable because it does not have a single point of failure. Mesh networks are also very scalable because they can be easily expanded as needed. One disadvantage of mesh networking is that it can be more expensive to set up and maintain than other types of networks.

Why did American refuse to share nuclear secrets?
Asked by Wiki User
Actually the US after WW2 offered to share everything about nuclear weaponry (the Baruch Plan on June 15, 1946), but the USSR refused the offer (they already had it all anyway through spies).
How many feet did the first atomic bomb explode?
Asked by Wiki User
The Trinity test explosion fireball was more than 1200 feet in diameter, minor damage was found on a manned bunker 30000 feet from the blast.
Which method Marines had to develop to achieve speed and dispersion on a potentially atomic battlefield?
Asked by Wiki User
Did Albert Einstein have an influence on the atomic bomb?
Asked by Wiki User
Einstein's only participation was to sign a letter written by Leo Szilard (using Einstein's name) warning FDR that Nazi Germany probably already had a project to build atomic bombs (which they did at the time) and warning of the consequences if they did first and requesting that FDR begin a project trying to make one first.
When FDR received this letter he authorized a preliminary study of the issue and budgeted $6000 to it.
What were the Atomic Bomb's names in World War 2?
Asked by Wiki User
- Gadget, MK-III plutonium implosion assembly mechanism, tested on 100 foot steel tower July 16, 1945 at Trinity Site, NM
- Little Boy, MK-I uranium gun assembly mechanism, dropped August 6, 1945 on Hiroshima
- Fatman, MK-III plutonium implosion assembly mechanism, dropped August 9, 1945 on Nagasaki
- unnamed, MK-III plutonium implosion assembly mechanism, arrived in San Francisco on August 18, 1945 (probably could have been dropped around August 25, 1945) but was returned to Los Alamos because Truman had ordered further atomic bombing stopped without his personal authorization.
Twenty more atomic bombs were scheduled for production and delivery before the end of 1945 and production could have continued at at least seven a month after that.
In fact production slowed rapidly after the end of the war (with no more demand for atomic bombs and to allow maintenance and repair of the Hanford reactors) and only five more had been produced by the end of Operation Crossroads in the summer of 1946 (which detonated two more MK-III plutonium implosion assembly mechanism bombs named Able and Baker).
