Question

What makes bullet holes wider on the exit side of a piece of glass?

The rounded shape of the bullet
The arc, or trajectory, of the bullets path
The high velocity of the bullets impact
The chemical reaction between the glass and bullet

Answer 1

The rounded shape of the bullet because as it goes through the glass it stops spinning and this make the hole wider

Answer 2

The correct answer is "The arc, or trajectory, of the bullets path".

Step-by-step explanation:

During forensic examination, glass fracture analysis helps to understand the position of the attacker by analyzing how a bullet penetrated the glass. One way to understand this is by seeing where the bullet holes are narrower. Usually, bullet holes wider on the exit side of a piece of glass, which is explained by the arc, or trajectory, of the bullets path. Therefore the narrower site of the hole indicates the position at which the bullet entered the glass, and the wider site indicates the position at which the bullet exit the glass.
