What is 1 atom bomb equal to?
its equal to 20000 tons of tnt
How big was the first atomic bomb?
The first atomic bomb detonated was the Trinity Test Bomb on July 16, 1945. It had the estimated explosive power eqivalent of 20,000 Tons of TNT. It was identical to the bomb dropped on Nagasaki 3 weeks later. The Hiroshima bomb was of a different design and was about 15,000 Tons equvalent.
What kind bombs did the soldiers use in World War 1?
TNT ( it's DYNAMITE!!)
Why were women who worked in the World War 1 munitions factories often called Canaries?
because the TNT they worked with was harmful and the toxic powders involved in making it turned their skin yellow, over 400 'canaries'died from overexposure to TNT.
Who invented the TNT?
i did
How many tons of tnt equals the power of a atom bomb?
that varies with yield, which is specified in tons of TNT and would thus be your answer. atomic bombs have been built and tested with yields from 10 tons of TNT to over 50 million tons of TNT.
How many megatons of TNT would be needed to completely shatter the entire planet Earth and disrupt the whole rest of the Solar System as well?
The answer, as it turns out, is on the order of one trillion-trillion megatons of TNT; that is to say, 10-to-the-thirtieth tons of TNT, equal to a one followed by thirty zeroes. Another way of saying that is one million yottatons of TNT; one yottaton is equal to 10-to-the-24th tons. The energy released in such a cataclysmic explosion would be: 4.184 * 10-to-the-39th Joules. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima, by contrast, was only about 15 kilotons of TNT.
How many tnt to destroy the earth?
It may take a thousand of tons on TNT to pack a nuclear bomb. But to destroy the earth, it may take billions to trillions tons of TNT plus a nuclear igniter to blow the earth to bits of dust.
What is the mass of matter that changed into energy when the atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki with an explosive power equivalent to 20000 tons of TNT was approximately?
The bomb had a weight of almost 10,000 pounds.
How many tons of TNT would it take to produce a 2 megaton explosion?
2,000,000. By definition.
How much TNT does it take to equal the magnitude of a 7.0 earthquake?
it takes about 180 tons of TNT
What could 500 tons of TNT destroy?
That is difficult to predict, but 500 tons of TNT is half a kiloton. Half a kiloton of TNT could probably flatten eight square blocks of a city - maybe more.
How strong are nuclear bombs today?
Most nuclear bombs can be as strong as 20 kilotons (20,000 tons of TNT) up to 60 Megatons (60,000,000 tons of TNT).
Why was the atomic bomb dropped on Japan in world war 2 have so much TNT?
The bomb did not have tnt. The atomic power is measurred using tnt was the base. TNT is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 gigajoules, which is approximately the amount of energy released in the detonation of one ton of TNT, and a bomb with one kiloton has the blast compared to one ton of tnt.
How many tons make a mega ton?
A megaton is equivalent to the destructive power of 1,000,000 (a million) tons of TNT. "Mega" is used as a prefix meaning "a million".
What was in the boat of the Halifax explosion?
there was 2000 tons of TNT, 10 tons of gun cotton, 35 tons of benzoyl and lots of artillery shells.
How big was an atomic bomb in the Nagasaki war?
The MK-III Fatman bomb dropped on Nagasaki was:5 feet diameter10 feet long5 tons weightThe bomb's yield was 21 Ktons TNT equivalent.
