Ballistic Fingerprinting Answer: B 3. It involves analyzing firearm,ammunition,and toolmark evidence in order to establish whether a certain firearm or tool was used in the commission of crime. A. Ballistics B. Forensic Ballistics C. Ballistic Missile D. Ballistic Fingerprinting Answer: D 4. It is a missile guided only during the relative brief initial powered phase of flight whose course is subsequently governed by the laws of classical mechanics. A. Ballistics B. Forensic Ballistics C. Ballistic Missile D. Ballistic Fingerprinting Answer: C 5. The study of the processes originally accelerating the projectile. A. Internal Ballistic B. Transition Ballistic C. External Ballistic D. Terminal Ballistic Answer: A 6. The study of the passage of the projectile through a medium. A. Internal Ballistic B. Transition Ballistic C. External Ballistic D. Terminal ballistic Answer: C 7. The study of the projectiles behavior when it leaves the barrel and the pressure behind the projectile is equalized. A. Internal Ballistics B. Transition Ballistics C. External Ballistics D. Terminal Ballistics Answer: B 8. It is also called a round. A. Bullet B. Shell C. Primer D. Cartridge Answer: D 9. Employed a burning wick on a spring that was locked back and released into a pan of powder upon pulling a trigger. A. Matchlock B. Wheellock C. Flintlock D. Percussion Answer: A 10. Consists of a hammer that was locked and when released, struck a cup containing a volatile primer that ignited on impact sending a flame through a small tube into the barrel chamber. A. Matchlock B. Wheellock C. Flintlock D. Percussion Answer: D 11. Late in the 18th century the Anglo-American physicist Benjamin Thompson made the first attempt to measure the pressure generated by gunpowder. The account of his experiments was the most important contribution to A. Exterior ballistics B. Forensic Ballistics C. Interior ballistics D. None of these Answer: C 12. An arbitrary index of the quickness that burning propellant changes into gas. It is the rate controlled by the chemical composition, the size and shape of the propellant grains, and the pressure at which the burning takes place. A. Gas Power B. Burning Rate C. Propulsion Rate D. Bulk Density Answer: B 13. The pattern or curved path of the bullet in flight. A. Yaw B. Range C. Velocity D. Trajectory Answer: D Remember the following definition of terms: 1. Ballistics - The science of mechanics that deals with the flight,behavior and effects of projectiles. 2. Forensic Ballistics - It involves the analysis of bullet impacts to determine information of use to a court or other part of the legal system. 3. Ballistic Fingerprinting - It involves analyzing firearm, ammunition and toolmark evidence in order to establish whether a certain firearm or tool was used in the commission of crime. 4. Ballistic Missile - It is a missile guided only during the relative brief initial powered phase of flight whose course is subsequently governed by the laws of classical mechanics. 5. Internal Ballistic - The study of the processes originally accelerating the projectile. 6. External Ballistic - The study of the passage of the projectile through a medium. 7. Transition Ballistics - The study of the projectiles behavior when it leaves the barrel and the pressure behind the projectile is equalized. 8. Cartridge - It is also called a round. 9. Matchlock - Employed a burning wick on a spring that was locked back and released into a pan of powder upon pulling a trigger. 10. Percussion - Consists of a hammer that was locked and when released, struck a cup containing a volatile primer that ignited on impact sending a flame through a small tube into the barrel chamber. |
