Question

Which statement is FALSE? *

explosives that deflagrate contain explosive materials that react (burn) slower than the speed of sound
an example of a deflagration explosive is C4
some deflagration explosives have shock waves that move faster than the speed of sound
explosives that deflagrate are also called low explosives

Answer 1

an example of a deflagration explosive is C4, is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Explosive materials may be categorized by the speed at which they expand. Materials that detonate (the front of the chemical reaction moves faster through the material than the speed of sound) are said to be "high explosives" and materials that deflagrate are said to be "low explosives".

C4 meaning:

C-4 or Composition C-4 is a common variety of the plastic explosive family known as Composition C, which uses RDX as its explosive agent. C-4 is composed of explosives, plastic binder, plasticizer to make it malleable, and usually a marker or odorizing taggant chemical.

Answer 2
