Abstract/OtherAbstract:
When analysing blood spatters, traces often occur which regarding the collision angle, cannot be allocated to any supposed centre of origin. Drops following highly curved (ballistic) trajectories usually form these types of traces. The reconstruction of such trajectories requires knowledge of the mass, the diameter (of which approximations are known) and the velocity of the blood drops. This article provides an upper range of the velocity in relation to the diameter of the blood drops based on physical laws. This is very helpful in analysing ballistic trajectories.
