| What studies the relationships between speed, mass, and the direction of force | Kinetics |
| If an organ that has a gas inside sustains alot of energy what happens | it will scatter more of the energy, meaning it is more likely to collapse and cause more injury |
| What is the distance an object travels per unit time | Velocity |
| The rate of change of velocity that an object is subjected to, wether speeding up or slowing down. | Acceleration |
| The downward acceleration that is imparted on any object on earth by the effect of the earths mass | Gravity |
| Does velocity or mass have a greater effect on kinetic energy | Velocity |
| what states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change form. | The law of conservation of energy |
| what does newtons first law of motion say | a body at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force |
| What does newtons second law of motion say | the force that an object can exert is the product of it's mass times it's acceleration |
| what is th g limit for a human | ~30g |
| decelerating forces can induce what type of injuries to organs | shearing, avulsing, or rupturing |
| The aorta, the largest velssel in the body, is the most common site for whattype of injury | decelerating |

| the 5 phases of a MVA are what | 1st phase is deceleration of the vehicle, 2nd deceleration of the occupant, 3rd deceleration of internal organs, 4th secondary collisions, from objects inside vehicle, and 5th additional impacts |
| When your patient of a mva is a pediatric what 2 injuries should you assume | Pulmonary or cardiac |
| if a person takes a deep breath before a crash, they are at risk of what | a dangerous lung injury |
| if a vehicle is struck from the side then what are the 2 passengers at risk of happening for injury | the 2 of them hitting each others head on each other. |

| the initial path of tissue distruction is caused by the projectile crushing the tissue during penetration, is referred to as | permanent cavity |
| what referrs to the tissue displacement that occurs as the result of low displacement shock waves | Pathway expansion |
| What is cavitation | cavity formation |
| What is a major cause of tissue damage as the projectile sends off fragments that create their own seperate paths through tissue | Missile fragmentation |
| Never assume what of a bullet injury | that the bullet followed a streight path between the entrance and exit wounds |
| Primary blast injuries are from what | the blast wave itself |
| secondary blast injuries are from | flying projectiles |
| tertiary blast injuries are from what | impact with another object |
| The leading edge of the blast wave is called | the blast front |
| The phase of an explosion in whicvh there is a pressure front higher then atmospheric pressure | posative wave pulse |
| the phase of an explosion where the pressure is less then atmospheric | negative wave pulse |
| what does a shock wave do in under water explosions as compared to air expolsions | it travels at greater velocity |
| what organs are most susceptibleto pressure changes | Air-containing organs like the middle ear, lungs and GI tract |
| what are the most common cause of death from blast injuries | neurologic injuries and head trauma |
