Assuming a spaceship could be impervious to the damaging effects of a nearby atomic blast, what speed could the ship reach in space due to the explosion? Interested to know how to figure that.
Aaronvan said:But even if the bomb was not directly connected, the vaporized casing would impinge on the pusher plate (say) of the space craft. It seems with enough bombs the ship would approach the velocity of the vaporized casing.
An atomic blast, also known as a nuclear explosion, is a powerful release of energy from a nuclear reaction. It typically occurs when the nuclei of atoms are split, releasing a large amount of heat, light, and radiation.
The propelling force of an atomic blast is the energy released from the nuclear reaction. This energy is in the form of heat and radiation, which causes a rapid expansion of gases and creates a shock wave that propels debris and air outward from the blast site.
The propelling force of an atomic blast is much greater than other conventional explosions. This is because the energy released from nuclear reactions is much more concentrated and powerful than chemical reactions.
The propelling force of an atomic blast is primarily affected by the size and type of the nuclear device, as well as the location and conditions of the explosion. Other factors such as altitude, terrain, and weather can also impact the force of the blast.
The propelling force of an atomic blast can cause devastating effects, including destruction of buildings and infrastructure, extreme heat and radiation, and widespread damage and casualties. It can also have long-term effects such as radiation poisoning and environmental damage.
