Bombs and Explosive Materials

Magnesium, white phosphorus, and jellied gasoline (napalm) are the typical fuels in conventional incendiary bombs. They are not used in conventional high explosive bombs or in nuclear bombs.

Depends. People that develop explosives are Chemical Engineers. People that design the USE of explosives may be Civil Engineers, or Mining Engineers. However, many everday users of explosives for mining and construction do not have a degree.

Tasty with fries, but easily overdone.

The atom bomb was not discovered, it was created by ALbert Einstein with a team of engineers and inventors to help the American Military execute one of its biggest attacks ever. The term e=mc squared is actually the formula for the atom bomb. To make a bomb like this, they basically compressed it so tightly that the atoms and molecules became explosive.

The oxidizer component of a fuel-air explosive is typically the air itself, which provides the necessary oxygen for combustion. When the fuel is dispersed in the air in the right ratio, it forms an explosive mixture that can be ignited to create a powerful explosion.

It really would depend on it's size, but I would say no, a single hydrogen bomb could not ordinarily decimate an entire state.

Typical conventional bombs have explosive yields approximately equal to their physical weight, the largest yield conventional bomb of WW2 was the British Tallboy which weighed 6 tons and had a yield of nearly 3 tons.

The first atomic bomb dropped in WW2 the Little Boy weighed just under 5 tons and had a yield of about 15000 tons equivalent.

Comparing them, the first atomic bomb had a weight slightly less than the largest conventional bomb used in WW2 but the yield was about 5000 times larger!

What size of Hydrogen Bomb? How many megatons? the biggest size of hydrogen bomb can done ...........

People use it for weapons and still use it for fireworks

made war easier to fight.

Gunpowder was first invented in China no later than about A.D. 850. For hundreds of years, it was used mainly to create fireworks. The Chinese did not use gunpowder as a weapon of war; it was the Europeans who first adapted explosives for use in weapons. By the fourteenth century, Europeans were widely using the explosive as a military device to project stones, spearlike projectiles, and metal balls from cannons and guns.

The hand grenade currently employed by most armies has a kill radius of 5 meters and danger radius of 15 meters.

The history of smoke bombs...

well... one day a man walked outside and observed mist outside above a lake. He swore that he could hear ducks and geese outside coming from the lake, but could not see them afloat due to the mist.

This man's name was Robertie Glandien Pkanestienan. He happened to be a soldier, and thought that if mist could be produced, it could be used as a weapon against the enemies. Thus he created the first smoke bomb, compacting flour into a loosely wooven cotten cloth ball, which in the center had a gernade inside. This was the first smoke bomb.

Since then many people have improved the idea of the smokebomb. today the most common smoke bombs are created by using sodium nitrate and glucose.

The goal was to discourage the Soviet Union from attacking free nations.

No

1. they will kill or maim you!
2. they are usually buried underground or thrown in front of tanks.
3. they come in multiple types anti personnel and anti armour
4. True land mines; those that are normally factory built and designed for either anti-personnel or anti-vehicle (primarily anti-tank) are shape charges-extremely more powerful than any improvised device (homemade or utilizing found artillery shells).
5. All land mines are indiscriminate; they will kill friend and foe alike. (until smart mines are developed).
6. All land mines (until smart ones are developed) will kill long after a conflict is over with; and land mines are often forgotten...and never found again...until they explode.
7. Older buried land mines can explode when temperatures drop.
8. Buried land mines can remain undisturbed for decades-- until one explodes.

Anfo's population is 489.

It used to be sulfur or phosphorous in World War 2.

That depends on where you are and what kind of explosives you make. The ATF redefined the word 'explosives" last year to include several products that were not previously considered explosives. In many places you can make your own black powder, rocket propellants and fuse. Some more powerful "explosives" can be made in very small quantities for use in fireworks, but there are restrictions on the storage of explosives. For more detailed and up to date rules, go to atf.gov.

In the anime he uses the spirit bomb in his first fight against vegita, and against frieza, he uses the spirit bomb to kill kid buu and omega shenron.

Depends on your definition of "starting" a detonation. A detonation is initiated by any number of things- a signal to detonate given by a watcher, a timer, or an action of the victim, such as moving an item. The explosives sequence is usually begun by a detonator- similar to a blasting cap. This contains a small amount of sensitive primary explosive that provides the donor energy to make the main explosive load detonate.

Depends on what kind- but most powders I buy for reloading are ABOUT $19-$23 per pound.

which of these is a true statement about projectiles

Will depend on situation. Are you in a military setting in a combat area, or in a civilian setting not in combat?

A good first step is removal of any non-involved personnel from the danger zone, restrict persons from entering the danger zone, check for persons observing that would remotely trigger a command detonated device, and be aware of, and check for the possibility of secondary devices. Once these steps have been taken, then staff that will remove the IED can enter and begin work.
