Check 24 & 25

Question 1

What is trauma?

Answer 1

Physical injury caused when an external force is applied to the body

Question 2

What is kinetics?

Answer 2

Branch of physics dealing with objects in motion and exchange of energy that occurs as objects collide

Question 3

What is Newton’s First Law of Inertia?

Answer 3

A body in motion will remain in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force. A body at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force

Question 4

What is the kinetic energy formula?
What makes the biggest difference in that formula?

Answer 4

KE=1/2mv2

Velocity

Question 5

Know the difference between blunt and penetrating trauma?

Answer 5

Blunt trauma is a result of force to the body that causes injury without penetrating the soft tissues.

Penetrating trauma causes injury by objects that pierce and penetrate the surface of the body

Question 10

What factors should you take into account in regard to Falls?

Answer 10

The height of the fall
