pysäytysominaisuus
Pysäytysominaisuus, often translated as "stopping power" or "braking ability," refers to the capacity of a projectile or vehicle to decelerate or come to a complete halt. In the context of ballistics, it describes how effectively a bullet can transfer its kinetic energy to the target, thus incapacitating it. This is influenced by factors such as the bullet's mass, velocity, and construction, as well as the properties of the target material. A higher stopping power generally implies a greater likelihood of immediate incapacitation or penetration of the target.
For vehicles, pysäytysominaisuus pertains to the effectiveness of their braking systems. This includes the ability to
