AB  - KEY  POINTSA  body  in  motion  stays  in  motion,  moving  at  the  same  speed  and  direction,  unless  acted  on  by  a  force.The  energy  of  an  object  and  its  potential  to  do  damage  are  directly  proportional  to  its  mass  and  the  square  of  its  velocity  .The  total  energy  of  a  system  cannot  be  destroyed,  although  it  may  be  transferred  between  objects  or  transformed  into  work.All  injuries  can  be  explained  by  four  different  types  of  strain  (tensile,  shear,  compressive,  and/or  overpressure).If  a  force  causes  a  decrease  in  the  original  volume  of  a  fluid-  or  air-filled  structure,  there  must  be  a  concomitant  increase  in  the  pressure.The  shape  (and  thus  the  sectional  density)  of  a  bullet  is  subject  to  change  within  the  tissue  and  directly  impacts  the  degree  of  tissue  damage.A  projectile  creates  both  a  permanent  cavitation  or  “bullet  track”  and  a  hydrostatic  pressure  wave  that  stretches  and  damages  adjacent  tissues.In  explosions,  more  energy  is  transferred  if  the  shock  wave  travels  through  a  medium  of  similar  density  (eg,  water  and  the  human  body).
