  • 3. 

    The tendancy of a substance to burn with a rapid and sparkling combustion is called

    • A.

      Detonation

    • B.

      Disposition

    • C.

      Deflagration

    • D.

      Decomposition

    Correct Answer
    C. Deflagration
    Explanation
    Deflagration refers to the tendency of a substance to burn rapidly and sparkle during combustion. It is characterized by a subsonic flame front that propagates through the substance, releasing heat and light. Unlike detonation, which involves a supersonic shockwave, deflagration occurs at a slower rate. Disposition refers to a person's inherent qualities or tendencies, while decomposition refers to the breakdown of a substance into simpler components. Therefore, deflagration is the correct answer in this context.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What is the final effect of deflagration under confinement?

    • A.

      Burning

    • B.

      Detonation

    • C.

      Volatilization

    • D.

      Explosive reactivity

    Correct Answer
    B. Detonation
    Explanation
    Deflagration under confinement refers to the rapid combustion of a substance in a confined space. The final effect of this process is detonation. Detonation occurs when the combustion front moves through the substance at a supersonic speed, causing a highly destructive and explosive reaction. Unlike deflagration, which is a slower and less intense burning process, detonation releases a shockwave that can cause significant damage and destruction. Therefore, the correct answer is detonation.

    How can you achieve an airburst with a general-purpose bomb?

    • A.

      Use a nondelay delay

    • B.

      Use a time action HE train

    • C.

      With a delay action HE train

    • D.

      With a superquick action HE train

    Correct Answer
    B. Use a time action HE train
    Explanation
    To achieve an airburst with a general-purpose bomb, one can use a time action HE train. This means that the bomb is equipped with a time fuse that is set to detonate at a specific altitude or time after release. When the bomb reaches the predetermined point, the time fuse triggers the explosion, causing the bomb to burst in the air rather than upon impact with the ground. This allows for a wider area of effect and can be particularly useful in targeting enemy troops or structures.

    • D.

      Detonator and a bursting charge

    Correct Answer
    B. Detonator, booster and a bursting charge
    Explanation
    The basic components of an explosive train are a detonator, booster, and a bursting charge. The detonator is the initiation device that starts the explosion, the booster amplifies the energy of the detonator, and the bursting charge is the main explosive material that produces the desired effect. These components work together to create a controlled and powerful explosion.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    In the explosive train, where can you find the delay?

    • A.

      Behind the detonator

    • B.

      Ahead of the detonator

    • C.

      Behind the burster charge

    • D.

      Ahead of the burster charge

    Correct Answer
    B. Ahead of the detonator
    Explanation
    The delay in the explosive train is located ahead of the detonator. This means that there is a component in the explosive train that is designed to delay the initiation of the detonator. The purpose of this delay is to ensure that the explosive charge reaches its intended target before detonating, allowing for precise timing and control of the explosion.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What effect does more damage then the framentation effect of a specific bomb?

    • A.

      Detonation

    • B.

      Penetration

    • C.

      Heat

    • D.

      Blast

    Correct Answer
    D. Blast
    Explanation
    The blast effect of a specific bomb causes more damage than the fragmentation effect. When a bomb detonates, it releases a powerful shockwave that rapidly expands in all directions. This shockwave creates a high-pressure zone that can cause destruction by collapsing buildings, damaging infrastructure, and injuring or killing people within its range. While fragmentation refers to the shrapnel and debris propelled by the explosion, the blast effect itself is responsible for the majority of the damage and casualties.

    • C.

      Decrease the explosive charge

    • D.

      Increase the explosive charge

    Correct Answer
    B. Increase the standoff distance
    Explanation
    Increasing the standoff distance can increase the penetration effect of a shaped charge. Standoff distance refers to the distance between the shaped charge and the target. By increasing this distance, the shaped charge has more time to focus and concentrate its explosive force before reaching the target. This allows for a more effective and powerful penetration, as the shaped charge can form a more concentrated and focused jet of explosive energy.

    Rate this question:

  • 11.

    • B.

      Type and amount of charge

    • C.

      Density and thickness of the target

    • D.

      Shock wave and a jet of dense gas

    Correct Answer
    D. Shock wave and a jet of dense gas
    Explanation
    The correct answer is shock wave and a jet of dense gas. When a shaped charge detonates, it creates a high-pressure shock wave that travels through the target material. This shock wave compresses and weakens the material, making it easier for the jet of dense gas to penetrate and cause damage. The combination of the shock wave and the jet of dense gas working together allows the shaped charge to effectively penetrate the target.
