|
cavitation
|
a cavity formed by a pressure wave resulting from the kinetic energy of a bullet traveling through body tissue; also called pathway expansion
|
|
|
dissipation of energy
|
the way energy is transferred to the human body by the forces acting upon it.
|
|
|
drag
|
the factors that slow a projectile
|
|
|
kinetic energy
|
the energy contained by an object in motion. Kinetic energy equals mass (weight in pounds), times the velocity (feet per second) squared, divided by two.
|
|
|
kinetics
|
the branch of mechanics dealing with the motions of material bodies
|
|
|
kinetics of trauma
|
the science of analyzing mechanism of injury
|
|
|
mechanism of injury (MOI)
|
the factors and forces that cause traumatic injury
|
|
|
profile
|
the size and shape of a bullet's point of impact; the greater the point of impact the greater the injury
|
|
|
trajectory
|
the path of a projectile during its travel; a trajectory may be flat or curved.
