22‚ 2014 Ballistic Pendulum Lab Objective: Determine the velocity of the projectile as it reaches the pendulum. Hypothesis: Firstly‚ we guess that the outcome of the velocity of the projectile is 6.3 meters per second [left].The formulas we use to find the final velocity of the projectile are Trigonometry‚ Kinetic and Potential Energy‚ and Momentum. Mass of the pendulum = 80.0g Mass of the ball = 7.64g Length of the string = 21cm Equipment: Ballistic pendulum device

What is Ballistic Gelatin and how is does it aid in Criminalistics? Ballistic gelatin is a solution of gelatin powder in water. Ballistic gelatin closely simulates the density and viscosity of human and animal muscle tissue‚ and is used as a standardized medium for testing the terminal performance of firearms ammunition. While ballistic gelatin does not model the structure of the body‚ including skin and bones‚ it works fairly well as an approximation of tissue and provides similar performance

Evidence-based instruction includes reliable and valuable data obtained from your classroom. When you apply basil tests‚ unit tests‚ exit slips‚ and acuity assessments you need to collect the data from your classroom to organize your classroom groups. You should also use this data to decide who needs AIS or tiered interventions for certain areas. Instructional practices include the previously mentioned assessments. Pretests for all units of instruction can also help you understand what your students

When it comes to handling evidence‚ wearing latex gloves play a major role in that aspect. Contamination of any evidence can corrupt a scene to the point where it would let a criminal walk free. And as far as contamination goes‚ once evidence is contaminated it can’t be replaced of repaired‚ than it would not be admissible in court. When you use latex gloves it helps preserve the condition of the crime scene. Wearing those gloves protects the investigator from leaving any imprint of theirs at the
