Which has more energy, 5 kilograms of dynamite or 10 kilograms of dynamite? Why?

The main purpose of any warhead is to inflict damage on the target. The way the damage is caused may vary with different types of warheads, but in the most general sense, damage is caused by the transfer of energy from the warhead to the target. The energy is typically mechanical in nature and takes the form of a shock wave or the kinetic energy of fragments. In either case, a large amount of energy must be released. For many warheads that energy is stored in the form of chemical explosives.

Explosive Reactions

There are many chemical reactions that will release energy. These are known as exothermic reactions. If the reaction proceeds slowly, the released energy will be dissipated and there will be few noticeable effects other than an increase in temperature. On the other hand, if the reaction proceeds very rapidly, then the energy will not be dissipated. Thus, a great quantity of energy can be deposited into a relatively small volume, then manifest itself by a rapid expansion of hot gases, which in turn can create a shock wave or propel fragments outwards at high speed. Chemical explosions may be distinguished from other exothermic reactions by the extreme rapidity of their reactions. In addition to the violent release of energy, chemical explosions must provide a means to transfer the energy into mechanical work. This is accomplished by expanding product gases from the reaction. If no gases are produced, then the energy will remain in the products as heat.

Most chemical explosions involve a limited set of simple reactions, all of which involve oxidation (reaction with oxygen). A relatively easy way to balance chemical explosive equations is to assume that the following partial reactions take place to their maximum extent (meaning one of the reactants is totally consumed) and in order of precedence:

Explanation:

what does the table look like

the cold front replaces the warmer air at the ground level changing the wind to be breezy and denser.there is also an immediate drop in the temperature.
