A MATHEMATICAL TREATMENT BASED ON PARTICLE DYNAMICS.
Abstract
BULLET RICOCHET IS DEFINED AS THE DEFLECTION OF BULLET FROM ITS COURSE, WHILE MAINTAINING ITS INTEGRITY, AS A RESULT OF IMPACT ON A TARGET OF SUFFICIENT SOLIDARITY. THE MATHEMATICAL MODEL PROPOSED IS BASED ON THE INTRODUCTION OF TWO PARAMETERS WHICH CAN BE DETERMINED EXPERIMENTALLY EITHER BY RESORTING TO VELOCITY MEASUREMENTS OR BY MAKING MEASUREMENTS ON THE RICOCHET MARK LEFT BY A BULLET ON A TARGET. AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED.
