The energy released by nuclear bombs is measured in kiloton


The energy released by nuclear bombs is measured in kiloton (kt) or megaton (Mt) units. One kiloton is a unit of energy released by 1000 tons of trinitrotoluene (TNT). One kiloton is 4.2×1012 joules. The yield of fission bombs is typically between 10 and 500 kilotons, the yield of fusion bombs is between 1 and 50 megatons. Calculate the length of a single line of large highway trucks carrying a 79.0 kt load. The capacitity of one truck is 30.0 t, the length of one truck is 16.0 m. The spacing between the trucks is 21.0 m. 9.74×101 km ANS What is the length of a convoy carrying a 33.0 Mt load?
