They are caused by an object entering the body at a high speed, typically a bullet
The velocity of the wind caused my hair to stand on end.
The change in an object's velocity is determined by its acceleration. If the object's acceleration is positive, its velocity increases; if it is negative, the velocity decreases. The larger the acceleration, the quicker the change in velocity will be.
Three things that can be caused by an unbalanced force are acceleration of an object, change in velocity of an object, and deformation or breakage of the object.
The velocity of a ball rolling down a hill will increase due to the acceleration caused by the pull of gravity. As the ball gains speed, its velocity will continue to increase until it reaches the bottom of the hill.
Depends on where the injury occurs, a head shot may prove futile to treat. In general, for any injury (gunshot or anything else): 1- Stop the bleeding 2- Start the breathing 3- Protect the wound 4- Treat for shock Hope that paramedics & a hospital are nearby.
Missile wounds
Missile, or velocity, wounds
They also called velocity wounds
Emotional wounds that are caused by rejection can linger for years, causing stress and heartache.
gunshot wounds, knife wounds, scab, eletrocution, carbon monoxideOpenOpen wounds can be classified according to the object that caused the wound. The types of open wound are: Incisions or incised wounds, caused by a clean, sharp-edged object such as a knife, a razor or a glass splinter.Lacerations, irregular tear-like wounds caused by some blunt trauma. The term laceration is commonly misused in reference to incisions.Abrasions (grazes), superficial wounds in which the topmost layer of the skin (the epidermis) is scraped off. Abrasions are often caused by a sliding fall onto a rough surface.Puncture wounds, caused by an object puncturing the skin, such as a nail or needle.Penetration wounds, caused by an object such as a knife entering the body.Gunshot wounds, caused by a bullet or similar projectile driving into or through the body. There may be two wounds, one at the site of entry and one at the site of exit, such is generally known as a through-and-through.ClosedClosed wounds have fewer categories, but are just as dangerous as open wounds. The types of closed wounds are: Contusions, more commonly known as bruises, caused by a blunt force trauma that damages tissue under the skin.Hematomas, also called a blood tumor, caused by damage to a blood vessel that in turn causes blood to collect under the skin.Crushing injuries, caused by a great or extreme amount of force applied over a long period of time.Chronic and Acute Acute or traumatic wounds are the result of injuries that disrupt the tissue. Chronic wounds are those that are caused by a relatively slow process that leads to tissue damage. Chronic wounds include pressure, venous, and diabetic ulcers. Typically, an insufficiency in the circulation or other systemic support of the tissue causes it to fail and disintegrate. Infection then takes hold of the site and becomes a chronic abscess. Once the infection hits a critical point, it can spread locally or become systemic (sepsis).
