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.

Who was the first to make an atomic bomb?
The US developed the first nuclear fission weapons (atomic bombs) during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project, a top-secret military program that saw several firsts in nuclear chain reaction experiments. Through the work of many international physicists and other experts, the US exploded the first a-bomb near Alamogordo, New Mexico on July 16, 1945.
The following two bombs were used in August, 1945, against the Empire of Japan, destroying the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
What was the name of the japanese leader who committed suicide in 1945 after the atomic bomb?
There were several, you would have to be more specific.
What Japanese city was the first atomic bomb dropped on?
The first bomb was dropped on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945. The second was set to drop on Kokura, but missed and hit Nagasaki. The bomb's codenames were Little boy, on Hiroshima, and Fat Man on Nagasaki.
Atomic bomb was used where at in the world.?
The atomic bomb has been tested in many parts of the world but it was used as a weapon in World War II when one each was dropped on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.
What were the consequences of the atomic bomb?
Our history is made up of wars, one tribe won over the other tribe and one nation conquered the other nation. The weapons that helped them to win the war were swords and muzzle loaded rifles to missiles and atomic bombs. When Enrico Fermi invented the Atomic Bomb to win the war, nobody even thought of the deadly consequences against humanity. It destroyed the land and atmosphere with electrostatic waves, radiations, and it has the power to destroy all humanity in a fraction of time.
Top secret program to build an atomic bomb?
This program was the Manhattan Project. Started in 1942, the countries of Canada, United States, and Britain combined forces to develop the atomic bomb. In July, they were successful. The Trinity bomb was detonated in the New Mexico desert, which signified the first nuclear bomb explosion.
Atomic bombs cause massive destruction and devastation by releasing immense amounts of energy in the form of heat, blast waves, and radiation. The intense heat generated can vaporize everything in the immediate vicinity, while the powerful shockwave can obliterate buildings and infrastructure. The long-term effects of radiation exposure can lead to serious health issues, including cancer and genetic mutations.
How much money does it cost to build an atomic bomb today?
The cost to build an atomic bomb today is difficult to estimate accurately, but it is likely in the billions of dollars due to the complexity and security measures involved. The costs include research and development, construction of facilities, obtaining necessary materials, and testing. Additionally, the cost could vary among countries.
When did the Soviets develop their own Atomic Bomb?
The Soviets tested their first weapon in 1949. And they didn't invent it themselves; spies gave it to them; they were later found and executed.
They actually didn't steal it, it was created in 1947 under The Soviet weapons program under the leadership of physicist Igor Vasilievich Kurchatov, and then tested fr the frst time in 1949.
Led the American team of engineers and scientist building the atomic bomb?
Oppenheimer......................
The atomic bomb was developed in the middle of the 20th century, and has been made since then.
Who used atomic bombs in World War 2?
Only the US, as they were the only country with them.
America used two Atomic Bombs in WWII. They used this to end the war with Japan. This was a successful technique because the war ended shortly there after. Some people say America shouldn't have done this but Japan attacked America without warning so America kicked some ass.
yes,it is very powerful and very strong indeed. in fact,it has killed tons,tons and tons of people. it is also known as 'little boy' and 'fat man'. hope this info can help u guys w yr research. for yr info,i live in the asia.
The atomic bomb was built during World War II as a strategic weapon to help bring a swift end to the war. The decision to use the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki was in part motivated by a desire to end the conflict quickly and prevent further loss of life. The bombings also reflected the intense rivalry between the Allied powers and the Axis powers.
Where was the ultimatum threatening to use the atomic bomb issued?
An ultimatum was issued to Japan from Potsdam, but no mention of atomic bombs was made in it as they were classified and the only people at Potsdam cleared to discuss them were Truman and Churchill.
The first time the Japanese were told of the atomic bomb was after the bombing of Hiroshima.
Which countries have atomic bombs?
The United States, Russia, China, Britain, France, India, Pakistan, North Korea and, although they never admit it, in all probability, Israel.
How much does an atomic bomb weigh?
This varies with design. The lightest is in the range of 50 pounds, the heaviest was over 500 tons. Exact weights for many devices are typically classified.
The 3 devices exploded in ww2 weighed roughly 5 tons each.
Fear of loss of face.
Why was the atomic bomb so powerful?
The atomic bomb is powerful because it effects (causes) a conversion of some matter (mass) into energy.
Einstein's equation E=MC2 shows us that the amount of energy released (E) is equal to the mass (M) times the velocity of light (V) squared; and the velocity of light is a very large number (299,792,458 metres per second).
In an atomic bomb as the plutonium or uranium is bombarded by free neutrons, it splits into smaller atoms and there is a little bit of mass lost in the process. This mass loss is the energy released by the bomb and it is far more energy than can be achieved by a chemical reaction involving the same amount of material.
What was the atomic bomb in the Manhattan project?
The atomic bomb developed in the Manhattan Project was a powerful nuclear weapon that harnessed the energy released by splitting atoms through a process called nuclear fission. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, in 1945, known as "Little Boy," used uranium-235, while the bomb dropped on Nagasaki, known as "Fat Man," used plutonium-239. These bombs caused immense destruction and casualties, leading to the end of World War II.
What was the bomber that dropped the second atomic bomb?
This was a B-29 code-named Bock"s Car. For all intents and purposes similar to the Enola Gay, also a B-29. The latter craft dropped a different type of atomic bomb, a Plutonium bomb with implosion type (Blows inward) fuses strapped around the perimeter. owing to its girth, this type of bomb was called (Fat Man). The more slender projectile dropped on Hiroshima was the (Little Boy) type. the proposed usage of the code name (Thin Man, thought to be poking fun at FDR, then recently deceased) was not used. Bombs away! but remember, let he among you who has done no wrong, release the next atomic bomb!-Confucius say. _________________________________________________________- It is ironic that Fat Man had more impact than Little Boy on the Japanese. Although the damage was less, it still wrecked the city enough to convince Japan that the war was over. Many know the name of Enola Gay, but only a few know the name of of Bock's Car. Kokura was the primary target for the second A-bombing, but it was spared by bad weather, so Nagasaki was bombed instead. The US did not have a third A-bomb built, but Japan did not know that. * Bock's Car was not a code name. It was a bomber name given to the B-29 because the pilot was Captain Bock. The Enola Gay was flown by Colonel Tibbets and named after his mother. US bombers in World War 2 were given unofficial names. * The B-29 The Great Artiste accompanied Enola Gay on the Hiroshima bombing, flown by Major Sweeney. For Nagasaki, The Great Artiste also accompanied Bock's Car, but with Major Sweeney at the controls of Bock's Car, and Captain Bock flying The Great Artiste. Why the two pilots switched bombers is unclear. * After the war, the 509th Bomb Group was transferred from Tinian to Roswell, New Mexico where as we all know strange things happened in 1947. To this day the 509th remains the only military unit to deliver nuclear weapons in wartime.
How did the atomic bomb affect people?
People not killed outright got injured with deep burns, as well as cuts and bruises. Later on rain fell and it was radioactive. Radiation caused vomiting, nausia, headache, and a loss of white blood cells.
