The human hand and foot are made up of many small bones which may be damaged by heavy impact. If a hard part of the opponent's body or other hard object is inadvertently struck, the carpals, metacarpals, tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges (the wrist, hand, ankle, foot and fingers/toes) may splay and deform on impact and fracture. Martial ...
A headbutt or butt [1] is a targeted strike with the head, typically involving the use of robust parts of the headbutter's cranium as the area of impact. The most effective headbutts strike the most sensitive areas of an opponent, such as the nose , using the stronger bones in the forehead ( frontal bone ) or the back of the skull ( occipital ...
Because the collisions between billiard balls are nearly elastic, and the balls roll on a surface that produces low rolling friction, their behavior is often used to illustrate Newton's laws of motion. After a zero-friction collision of a moving ball with a stationary one of equal mass, the angle between the directions of the two balls is 90 ...
If hitting your head has caused an object to stick out of the wound, Dr. Nwakanma says it’s important not to remove it yourself; leave it for a medical professional to do. “Removing it could ...

Falling is a normal experience for young children, but falling from a significant height or onto a hard surface can be dangerous. Complications: Head injury, concussion, bone fracture, [1] abrasion, bruise: Risk factors: Convulsion, vision impairment, difficulty walking, home hazards [1] Frequency: 226 million (2015) [2] Deaths: 527,000 (2015) [3]
A head crash in a modern drive. Note circular scratch mark on the platter. A head crash. A head crash is a hard-disk failure that occurs when a read–write head of a hard disk drive makes contact with its rotating platter, slashing its surface and permanently damaging its magnetic media. It is most often caused by a sudden severe motion of the ...
At normal speeds, the forces applied to the bolt would be dispersed, via friction, to the mating threads. However, at impact speeds, the forces act on the bolt to move it before they can be dispersed. In ballistics, bullets utilize impact forces to puncture surfaces that could otherwise resist substantial forces. A rubber sheet, for example ...
