Bomb

The two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima (Aug. 6) and Nagasaki (Aug. 9) totaled to almost 200,000 Japanese casualties (Document A). President Harry Truman decided to use this horrific weapon considered to be immoral despite other options to force Japan to surrender, ending the second world war. On June 6th, 1945, the Japanese War Council stated, “we shall -- thanks to the advantages of our terrain and the unity of our nation, prosecute the war until the bitter end” (Document C). Japan had no…

dropped the first Atomic bomb over the city of Hiroshima. Three days later we dropped another atomic bomb over the city of Nagasaki. The death toll for these atomic bombs is estimated at around one hundred and sixty thousand people. (722) I wanted to find some understanding of how our government could order the death sentence of this caliber. Within my search I came across this article explaining the process that lead up to the ultimate decision of dropping the first atomic bomb. This led…

Once man stopped fighting wars hand to hand with guns and swords, he took to the skies to drop bombs and spray bullets. It was only a matter of time before the price was too high for the collateral damage to be worth it. This militaristic milestone was reached by the creation of the atomic bomb in 1945. They decimated the target area, leaving nothing but shadow and ash in its wake. The fallout of the bombs ended the initial war, but provided the spark necessary to start all subsequent wars to…

Abstract The goal of this experiment is to understand the theory behind bomb calorimetry and use it to determine the enthalpy of combustion of naphthalene. First, the bomb calorimeter was standardized using benzoic acid and the average heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter was calculated to be 10.60.3205 kJ/K. From that, the average m, and f were found to be -526615.66kJ/mol, with a percent difference of 3.31%, -52600.0015kJ/mol with a percent difference of 1.99%, and -185.50.0013kJ/mol with a…

for dropped an atomic boom in Japan. However other think that in war and in love all is fair. Hiroshima bomb has many bad consequences. However, I think that it has many good ones. The end of the war, the respect from the others country for win the war are the positive points. Besides, the negative consequences of the bomb are not as strong as the positive ones. First of all, the Hiroshima bombs dictated the end for the world war two. This war had a duration of 6 years in that period of time…

As the second World War was drawing to a close in the Pacific theater, the United States ultimately decided to use its new weapon that they have been developing in the top-secret Manhattan Project, the atomic bomb, on Japan on August 6th, 1945. The United States, including Truman and top military officials such as Secretary of War Stimson, opted to use the weapon for a variety of reasons including drawing the war to a quick end. While the U.S. ultimately used nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and…

The Bombs Shouldn’t Have Been Dropped Fat Man and Little Boy, the two bombs used to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Americans weren’t justified to drop the Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Atomic bomb explosions were so big it completely leveled out Hiroshima and Nagasaki there were about 9 buildings still standing after Little Boy hit Hiroshima and about 7 buildings standing after Fat Man hit Nagasaki. The Americans knew the bombs would completely wipe out the whole cities of…

The Manhattan Project was a program to build an the very first and extraordinary atomic bomb . An atomic bomb is a explosive that derives its destructive power from the rapid release of nuclear energy by fission of heavy atomic nuclei, causing damage through heatblast, and radioactivity. There was a Program specifically built for the Atomic bomb, but it didn’t just start with somebody saying “Let’s build a bomb with all these chemicals.” No, it came to be by the splitting of an atom. The very…

ABSTRACT Within this experiment, the use of a bomb calorimeter was required in order to determine the heat capacity of the system through the combustion of three separate trials of benzoic acid. The resulting heat capacity values for each trial were averaged, with a standard deviation found as well. This was then used to work backwards, for a naphthalene trial, in order to calculate the change in energy (∆U) and the change of enthalpy (∆H). The accepted value for the change in enthalpy of…

discover the theory e=mc2. This theory help build the Atomic bomb to help the United States win the war. Thus causing a race to build the A bomb. In 1905 Albert Einstein made the theory e=mc2, however Glenn Seaborg was discovering a new radioactive material Plutonium which could also be used as a bomb to cause mass distruction. On August second 1939, Albert Einstein sent a letter to President Rossvelt, saying he could build an atomic bomb by creating a huge nucular chain reaction. This…
