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.

Can a rat survive an atomic bomb?
No animals can survive atomic bombs. However, some animals, especially refering to cockroaches, can survive radiation up to a certain level.
How do you use the bomb in madness combat interactive?
In Madness Combat Interactive, to use the bomb, you typically need to select it from your inventory or equip it during gameplay. Once selected, you can place it strategically in the environment or throw it at enemies. Make sure to take cover or move away to avoid damage when it detonates. Keep an eye on the timer or fuse to time your actions properly!
Why did the atomic bomb explode before it hit the ground?
Tthe bomb is detonated before it hits the gound covering a wider area of effect, thus leaving more destruction then it would if it hit the ground.
Where did the plane that was dropping the atomic bomb take off from?
The Enola Gay flew from the Island Of Tinian and returned to that island. The second atom bomb was sent from that Island too. See related link below.
How many American lives were saved by using the atomic bomb?
four million people would have did if we did not use the atomic bomb
When did the US decide to drop atomic bombs on the Germans?
The US did not drop atomic bombs on Germany although the original purpose of the Manhattan Project was to develop a bomb before the Germans did. However, as the war went on Germany had to redirect recourses to other areas so they never succeeded in developing an atomic bomb. Once Germany surrendered, and the atomic bomb was successfully tested in New Mexico, the possibility existed of using it against Japan. And that is what happened
When did the Russians test their first nuclear bomb?
1949, it was a clone of the US Fatman design based on stolen plans.
If survivors of atomic bombs have babies are the babies affected?
I am a survivor of atomic testing in 1954 in the southwest United States. I was born on Aug 18, 1954 in Downey, California and according to my mother(deceased), I was born with a tan and platinum hair and burns from the waste to the knees and had to be treated with Vaseline and baby powder for an entire year after my birth. She said that , that day the winds carried fallout dust into the maternity ward affecting the babies that day. So I would assume there are more of us if they are still alive.
Who made the decision to drop the atomic bomb on Jap?
Shortly after President Roosevelt (FDR) passed away, Truman came into office and made this decision.
Who helped make the first atomic bomb?
Too many to list by name (including my grandfather, who worked at the Hanford Site oiling machines from the summer of 1944 through February 1945, without ever having any idea of what the purpose of Hanford was or that its product was part of a very powerful bomb).
Who through the atomic bomb on nagasaki?
At the end of World War II, few questioned Truman's decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most Americans accepted the obvious reasoning: the atomic bombings brought the war to a more timely end. They did not have a problem with over one hundred thousand of the enemy being killed. After all, the Japanese attacked America, and not the other way around. In later years, however, many have begun to question the conventional wisdom of "Truman was saving lives," putting forth theories of their own. However, when one examines the issue with great attention to the results of the atomic bombings and compares these results with possible alternatives to using said bombs, the line between truth and fiction begins to clear. Truman's decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan was for the purpose of saving lives and ending the war quickly in order to prevent a disastrous land invasion.
To make a fission atomic bomb you just take either uranium or plutonium, which are fast-fission materials and find a way to smash the soul out of them so they can make neutrons to continue the chain reaction. You either just take some fissionable uranium, make a bullet out of one and a ball of the other, build a cannon-shaped bomb that shoots the bullet of uranium into the ball of uranium at the end of the barrel - and boom.
To make the second kind, you need some plutonium. Plutonium is easy to obtain but it is extremely hard to make into a bomb, because if you shoot two masses of plutonium together like the uranium bomb style, they fission so much easier that they start reacting before they touch and blow themselves apart before anything can fission, so you will need to make a ball of plutonium crush in itself using a shock wave made by a explosion. You surround a ball of fissionable plutonium with explosive stuff. When the surrounding explosives goes boom, the shock waves made by the explosives hits the ball. This causes the plutonium to supercompress itself together - and boom.
the Nazi didn't build the atomic bomb the Americans did....
What kind of plane dropped the first atomic bomb?
The B-29. In WW2 there were only 2 planes available with the capacity to carry a bomb the size and weight of the atomic bombs: the american B-29 and the british Lancaster. But since the bomb was american, the plane had to be american. The Lancaster might have been a better choice as it had a longer bomb-bay, permitting a more stable tail fin design, but the B-29 was american.
How many miles can an atomic bomb destroy things?
Depends on too many variables to answer without more information.
- yield
- burst height/depth
- burst slant range
- Terrain
- Weather
- if burst is subsurface, media surrounding burst (e.g. dirt, water, rock, concrete)
- construction of buildings
- etc.
An A-bomb is the short form of atomic bomb, e.g. a nuclear bomb.
What kind of weapon is the atomic bomb?
Nuclear. The weapon is uranium, and the chain reaction caused by a single split will turn the whole thing to energy.
E=mc^2 shows that the explosion will produce energy equivalent to the mass of the uranium, multiplied by the speed of light squared.
Which italian invented the atomic bomb?
I know you are thinking of Enrico Fermi, but no he did not invent the atomic bomb.
It is possible however that Enrico Fermi could be credited with the invention of the graphite moderated nuclear reactor, which ultimately led to the three massive plutonium production reactors built at Hanford, Washington by DuPont which made the plutonium used in the Fatman and many later atomic bomb designs.
How did the atomic bomb impact the world?
The atomic bomb affected the world in these ways:
- The world learned of the atomic power and the concept that you can destroy the world with atomic power.
- Many countries came to revere and fear the United States.
- Many countries resented the deaths of Hiroshima and Nagasaki not thinking about the fact that Dresden, Warsaw and Berlin and almost Tokyo and other Japanese cities were leveled by conventional bombs.
- Atomic power stations were built world wide.
- Scientists continued to object to the morality of using their knowledge to destroy others.
- Much was learned about radiation sickness, burns and cancer due to the bombs being dropped.
- Communism grew and they participated in the neclear arms race.
Who invented atom bomb and who propounded the theory of atom bomb?
- H. G. Wells used the words "atomic bomb" in his 1914 novel The World Set Free.
- Leo Szilard filed the first atomic bomb related patent in 1934, on the neutron chain reaction.
- A joint German and Swedish team discovered nuclear fission in uranium-235 in 1939.
- The US Manhattan Project developed the infrastructure to build atomic bombs, beginning production in 1945. This project employed tens of thousands of workers.
In ww1 who made the atom bomb?
No one made an atom bomb in World war 1. It took to the very end of World war 2 for the Atomic bomb to be invented. Exactly who invented is is a bit tricky. There were several different scientists that had come up with the idea separately. But the man mostly associated with turning it into a working weapon is Dr Robert Oppenheimer.
Date and time of the first test of an atomic bomb?
Just before sunrise (while still dark) on July 16, 1945.
