All about Fire
This type of heat pattern rises up through the air used in things like air fryers
What is the most prominent reason for arson
What is money or financial gain
What weapon utilizes the principles of ballistics
What are firearms
The sudden release of energy cause d by oxidation or a decomposition reaction that produces heat and expands gas
What is an explosion?
What type of investigator handles fire examinations?
What is an arson investigator?
This type of heat pattern applies when two surfaces directly touch like a heater and a pan
What is conduction
The intentional and illegal burning of property
What is arson?
The flight path of a projectile
What is trajectory?
Chemicals that oxidize rapidly, producing heat, light, and a pressure wave that will only explode when confined.
What are low explosives?
The three factors that make arson investigation difficult are these.
What is things being destroyed by the fire, the perpetrator committing the crime at his convenience, and the perpetrator often fleeing the scene before the fire gets large.
This type of heat pattern is transferred through alpha, beta, and gamma waves
What is radiation
In a fire investigation, any material used to start or sustain a fire; the most common are combustible liquids
What is accelerant?
This is the formula for calculating the trajectory of ballistics
What is the tangent of the angle multiplied by the velocity
Chemicals that oxidize extremely quickly, producing heat, light, and a shock wave; will explode even when not confined
What are high explosives?
What two factors are needed to calculate the adjustment required to hit a target's bulls-eye?
Sodium chloride makes fire this color
What is yellow?
Excess heat that is given off in a combustion reaction
What is heat of combustion?
On the trajectory graph, O represents this.
This type of insulator allows electricity to freely pass through it.
What is a conductor?
A similar, but uncontaminated, sample; used for making comparisons
What is substrate control?
The decomposition of organic mater by heat in the absence of oxygyn
Arson evidence is analyzed with this method of lab testing
What is gas chromatography?
Acronyms LoD and LoS on the trajectory graph represent what?
What is line of departure and line of sight?
A theory that states that the behavior of gases is predictable and explainable based on certain assumptions
What is kinetic molecular theory?
A chemical or physical marker that is added to materials to allow detection or testing
What is a taggant?
