Which two factors related to kinetic energy proportionately affect the damage a projectile will do?
A) Velocity and yaw
B) Velocity and mass
C) Mass and fragmentation
D) Fragmentation and velocity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The kinetic energy of a projectile is directly proportional to its mass and velocity, so both of these factors affect the damage done by the projectile. Option A is incorrect because yaw is not related to kinetic energy. Option C is incorrect because fragmentation is related to the type of projectile and not its kinetic energy. Option D is incorrect because fragmentation is once again related to the type of projectile and not its kinetic energy.
