What was the result of the trinity test in 1945

History
1 answer:
Snezhnost [94]2 years ago
8 0

At 5:30 a.m. on July 16, 1945, Los Alamos scientists detonated a plutonium bomb at a test site located on the U.S. Air Force base at Alamogordo, New Mexico, some 120 miles south of Albuquerque. Oppenheimer chose the name “Trinity” for the test site, inspired by the poetry of John Donne. The test had been scheduled for 4 a.m., but when the time came it was raining, and the appointed hour was pushed back to 5:30. Tensions ran high at the test site, where those assembled included the scientist Enrico Fermi–who had directed the first nuclear chain reaction in December 1942–U.S. Army Brigadier General Leslie Groves, Bush, Oppenheimer and others.

When the bomb was finally detonated atop a steel tower, an intense light flash and sudden wave of heat was followed by a great burst of sound echoing in the valley. A ball of fire tore up into the sky and then was surrounded by a giant mushroom cloud stretching some 40,000 feet across. With a power equivalent to around 21,000 tons of TNT, the bomb completely obliterated the steel tower on which it rested. The nuclear age had begun.

fredd [130]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

We could say that Renaissance artwork is nationalistic in that it represented the petitions of sponsors or patrons of the time, as was the case of the powerful Medici family in Florence, Italy, that hired the best artists of the time to make them works in sculpture, painting, and architecture. The best example lies in the same Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, There is art, beauty, and formidable arts everywhere you walk.

This created a nationalistic sentiment that made powerful families and locals proud of their city-state and artistic expressions and culture.
