explosive power
Blast's destructive capacity
Explosive power is the ability to generate maximum force in minimum time—the quality that lets athletes jump high, throw far, or accelerate quickly.
It combines strength and speed: Sprinters need explosive power off the blocks.
The term appears in sports training, physics discussions, and descriptions of military ordnance: The bomb's explosive power leveled three buildings.
