A conventional bomb would have destroyed only the wooden structures within a 40 meters radius‚ but the atomic bomb that smashed Hiroshima was able to affect everything within a radius of 2 kilometers of the point of explosion.

What is momentum? Momentum of a body is defined as the mass multiplied by the velocity of this object. Momentum= m x v Momentum and Newton’s second law of motion: The resultant force is proportional to the change in momentum per a second. We know that force = mass x acceleration. So F (mv-mu)/t F m (v-u)/t = ma so F=kma Momentum is a vector quantity: Momentum has a direction as well as a magnitude Momentum and Newton’s first law of motion: An object remains at
