EXPLOSIVES AND AIR BAGS a) Explosion reactions occur so quickly and are hard to control. Also explosion reactions usually release large amounts of heat and hot gases. Other reactions can be controlled by factors like temperature and concentration‚ but explosion reactions are hard to control. b) A certain amount of explosives is put in the end of the tube and then the cannonball is put on top. Then a match or lighter is used to ignite the explosives as the fire reacts with the explosives it blasts

Scanlan‚ recommended by his state representative‚ as one of the states 16 mine inspectors (Martin‚ 1948). Scanlan was the inspector of the district that included Centralia Mine No. 5. Scanlan inspected the mine several times in the years before the explosion. He made a report of each inspection and sent them to the Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals. In many of these reports‚ he noted that the mine was highly explosive due to coal dust buildup. Robert Weir‚ assistant director for the Illinois

powers of Nature was felt around the globe. This power was from the explosion of Krakatoa‚ an island volcano that lies in the Sunda Strait. The scientists of the time struggled to comprehend the destruction that resulted from this great explosion. The results from the examination of the destruction established a landmark in learning about volcanoes. But let us back up a bit and learn exactly what happened before the Great Explosion happened. In 416 A.D. Ancient Krakatoa destroyed itself in a massive

the explosion at the financially troubled mine. Since the mine did not know who was on shift at the time of the explosion‚ many wives of the miners received phone calls that morning asking if their husbands were at home. At the time of the explosion‚ the mine had been under an order from the provincial labour department to establish a safety plan to prevent coal-dust explosion. The cause of the disaster was later established to have been ignition of coal dust‚ which was caused by an explosion of accumulated

A nuclear explosion is caused by the release of energy in an atom‚ either through fission or fusion. Fission weapons cause an explosion by the splitting of atomic nuclei. This happens when a neutron collides with the nucleus of an atom. The protons in the nucleus are transformed into a great amount of energy and two or three more neutrons are sent out‚ which go on to split other nuclei. If this continues‚ a chain reaction will occur. The result is a gigantic explosion. To form a chain reaction‚ a

will happen after after the explosion rocked the city. Each and every explosion starts with the surface burst. This is the starting explosion “ in which a weapon is detonated on or slightly above the surface of the earth” (Pike‚ 1998‚ p. 4). In this area the destruction is extremely concentrated. Then comes the primary blast wave‚ this wave is so strong it vaporizes everything within approximately 1 kilometer. The protagonist in “Grace Period” saw this part of the explosion as “a fluctuation of light
