Why did the United States suffer a loss of confidence following the launch of Sputnik I?

2 answers:

8 0

This was because it meant that the USSR had won the space race and it knocked the USA's confidence because the USSR was not as technologically advanced as them due to being communist and did not have many computers as the government mainly felt that it would allow the people to rebel against communism more easily. Therefore, the USA felt threatened by the USSR winning the space race because it meant that they could be catching up to their level in technological advances.

Which of the following did the scientists at Oak Ridge recommend? The bomb should be used to end the war as quickly as possible.

liraira [26]

The correct option is: "The weapon’s power should be demonstrated to Japanese officials prior to its use."

Two types of atomic bombs were developed simultaneously during the Second World War: a relatively simple ballistic-type fission weapon and a more complex implosion nuclear weapon. The fission design of the Thin Man pump proved impractical for use with plutonium, so a simpler weapon called Little Boy was developed using uranium-235, an isotope that constitutes only 0.7% of the uranium in natural state. Project workers had difficulty separating this isotope from uranium-238 because of its chemical and mass similarities. Three methods were used for the enrichment of uranium: by the use of calutrons, by gas diffusion and by thermophoresis. Most of these jobs were carried out at the Clinton Engineer Works in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
