First‚ the usage of the atomic bombs were

It was not necessary to drop the bomb on these cities as there were many other ways that they could have made Japan surrender without dropping/developing the atomic bomb.However many believe that the atomic bomb should have been dropped on Japan so that the casualties could have been minimized for the allies. The United States had made 2 bombs to decimate

The Atomic Bomb The atomic bomb is a powerful‚ explosive nuclear weapon. It is fueled by the fission of the nuclei of specific amounts of plutonium or uranium‚ in a chain reaction. The strength of the explosion created by one of these bombs is equal to the strength of an explosion created by thousands of tons of TNT. The atomic bomb was first created in the early twentieth century. Physicists in the United States and Europe had discovered that the fission of uranium could be used to create

Conclusions The purpose of this experiment was to find the relationship between a substance’s specific heat and its atomic weight. In the lab‚ the substances with the higher atomic weights had less specific heat. From this‚ we can conclude that specific heat and atomic weight have an inverse relationship‚ meaning as one decreases the other increases. The reason for this is because if atoms are small‚ or light‚ they have the ability to pack tightly together‚ leaving almost no space between them

The atomic bomb dropped on Japan was the correlated decision of the president at the time‚ Harry Truman‚ and his chief advisors.
