How many newtons of force are in a nuclear explosion?
You’re talking about 10^12 N for medium sized nukes, the closer you get to the bomb the higher the force is but the duration of the pulse is shorter, hence the total impulse is mostly the same whether ur 300 or 1000 m away.
How many joules is TNT?
The energy released in an explosion of 1 gram of TNT is approximately 4000 Joules.
How many Newtons are in a kiloton?
Kilotons (metric, explosive energy) to Newton-meters table
| Kilotons (metric,explosive energy) | Newton-meters |
|---|---|
| 1 kt | 4183999932386.56 Nm |
| 2 kt | 8367999864773.12 Nm |
| 3 kt | 12551999797159.68 Nm |
| 4 kt | 16735999729546.24 Nm |
How much is a megaton TNT?
nuclear weapon yields … contrast, is frequently expressed in megatons, each unit of which equals the explosive force of 1,000,000 tons of TNT.
What is a joule in Newtons?
One joule is defined as the amount of work done when a force of one newton is exerted through a distance of one meter. 1 joule of work = 1 N of force x 1 m of distance. In the English system of units, where force is measured in pounds, work is measured in a unit called the foot-pound (usually abbreviated ft-lb).
What is the peak force of TNT and C4?
a 1 cm3 cube of TNT will produce a peak force of 1 900 000 or almost 2 million of Newtons per each side of the cube or 12 million newtons per 6 sides combined, C4 will prudoce about 2,7 million N per side or some 17 million N per 6 sides combined, these are the peak (Pcj) forces
How can you change the direction of the explosion of C4?
You can mold it into different shapes to change the direction of the explosion. The explosive material in C-4 is cyclotrimethylene-trinitramine (C3H6N6O6), commonly called RDX (which stands for “royal demolition explosive” or “research development explosive”).
How many joules are in a nm of TNT?
1 Nm = 2.3900573613767E-10 tTNT. 1 x 2.3900573613767E-10 tTNT = 2.3900573613767E-10 Tons Of TNT. Always check the results; rounding errors may occur. In relation to the base unit of [energy] => (joules), 1 Newton Meter (Nm) is equal to 1 joules, while 1 Tons Of TNT (tTNT) = 4184000000 joules.
Where does the US get its C4 explosives?
The U.S. military is the primary manufacturer of C-4, and it tightly guards its supply, but there are a number of other sources for similar explosive material (including Iran]
