[BangBang101]

Hey! So basically the problem is I was put in a physics class because all the others were full! I'm terrible at it and as a result I am not a big fan of the subject! so anyway i have to write about how physics applies to the job of a forensic physicist! i know they use ballistics , blood spatter analysis and auto-accident recreation but could you tell me how they use physics in these! Thanks so much! any info appreciated!

Start by reading this wikipedia intro article about forensics:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forensics

They mention forensic engineering as one of the specialties, but not forensic physics per se. Probably pretty close as a practical matter.
