Tactical Physics

This one goes out to Tracy...Alright, you ever been playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and some douche is camping on top of a building, n00b t00bing your team spawn. And then you see a harrier, and you're like "awww damn, this try-hard probably has a nuke and is a total douche." Then next thing you know, your team is hiding in the warehouse, trying to outrun the chopper gunner, and none of them want to shoot it down. So you shoot it down, but you know that somewhere, that douche already has what he wants, and is going to wait to use it. I'm talking about the tactical nuke, based on the nuclear or atomic bomb. Seeing how we just studied nuclear fusion and fission and all those chain reactions, I thought I'd look into the bomb. In MW2, it just kills everyone and ends the game. In real life, however it is much more devastaing. First off all we'll look at the ATOMIC BOMB, it works on basically the same principles of nuclear power : NUCLEAR FISSION. Usually it is plutonium, triggered by an explosion of TNT or something on impact. That sets off the chain reaction of fission, which we know can produce huge amounts of energy, like in a power plant. A HYDROGEN BOMB uses NUCLEAR FUSION first by combining detreium and tritium, causing a huge explosion. But wait, there's more, because the bomb casing is made out of uranium, so the fusion explosion causes a fission reaction in the casing, making it a huge explosion. Of course, the explosion is not the only deadly thing about a nuke. The radiation from the nuclear particles released can totally kill people and plants, just look at okinawa. I went tot the war memorial there and it was pretty scary. So next time you get a 25 kill-streak, and have a nuke equipped, think about the millions of animals and plants and humans you'd kill with that nuke, and just don't use it. Just quit being a douche, and don't use the nuke......Tracy.....
