explosive force
Bomb's destructive energy
Explosive force is the sudden, violent release of energy that propels objects outward—from a bomb blast, volcanic eruption, or chemical reaction.
The term appears in physics, military contexts, and demolition: The explosive force shattered windows three blocks away.
Figuratively, it describes any overwhelming burst of power or intensity: She hit the ball with explosive force.
