The math of saving the Enola Gay #SoME3
How did the Enola Gay, the airplane that dropped the atomic bomb over Hiroshima, survive the strong shockwave from the nuclear explosion? The answer is a clever maneuver that can be derived using high-school physics and geometry. #some3 Erratum: @21:20 "1450 km" should be "1450 m" Playlist Physics of Nuclear Weapons: • Physics of Nuclear Weapons Code available on GitHub https://github.com/jsdiazpo/Saving-th...
