What's the difference between ballistic and ballistics?
Ballistic
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the ballista, or to the art of hurling stones or missile weapons by means of an engine.
(a.) Pertaining to projection, or to a projectile.
Example Sentences:
(1) This behavioral evidence supports the previous notion that the underlying neural command is ballistic and does not use sensory information from the stimulus once the movement begins.
(2) His legal team includes three of South Africa's leading defence lawyers, a number of ballistics and forensic experts and, media reports say, an American crime scene reconstruction company.
(3) In order to examine the role of the basal ganglia (BG) in the regulation of basic movement parameters, we recorded extracellularly from pallidal neurons in conscious monkeys during the performance of a sequential wrist movement task which was composed of a series of holds and ballistic jumps.
(4) Hinton’s defense lawyer wrongly thought he had only $1,000 to hire a ballistics expert to try to rebut the prosecution testimony about the bullets.
(5) On Monday, Nato declared: "Today, we have declared an interim ballistic missile defence capability as an initial step to establish Nato's missile defence system, which will protect all Nato European territories, populations and forces."
(6) In the present study a ballistic monitoring technique was employed to establish criteria for assessment of postural disorders.
(7) 223 of the Austrian army serves to demonstrate and discuss the wound ballistic effects in relation to the altered behaviour of the projectile.
(8) The skill which is consolidated in the course of subsequent training sessions is accomplished by uniform movements of the ballistic type, and is characterized by independance from the acoustic indication of the final position.
(9) These results are interpreted as evidence for the involvement of the cerebellum in the initiation of some fast ballistic movements.
(10) In response to a following visual stimulus, they carried out a ballistic plantar flexion randomly with the right or left foot.
(11) The 15 council members unanimously approved a statement that stressed how any launch of ballistic missile technology, “even if characterised as a satellite launch or space launch vehicle”, contributes to North Korea’s development of systems to deliver nuclear weapons.
(12) On a ballistic rhythmical tapping test, no marked differences in speed were found, but ambilaterals made slightly fewer errors with the better hand.
(13) Good agreement was found between the interpretation of the ballistic features and the clinical diagnosis.
(14) North Korea claimed the rocket was carrying an observation satellite, but the launches are seen as an opportunity for the state to test ballistic missile technology.
(15) There is evidence of synaptic input systems that preferentially excite large, fast twitch MUs and inhibit small twitch MUs; however, the majority of evidence from human experiments indicates that the recruitment order is not reversed in ballistic contractions.
(16) The trial on Friday heard from defence ballistics expert Tom Wolmarans who testified that it was impossible to be certain how Steenkamp fell when she was hit by bullets, challenging the prosecution's implication that she might have been cowering in fear.
(17) The test comes less than two months after the North enraged the US and its allies by test firing a long-range ballistic missile.
(18) To clarify the rationale behind the selective management of penetrating neck wounds, current data on ballistics, ancillary diagnostic studies, and comparative costs are reviewed.

(20) "We made that alternative very clear," Schmidt said at the end of the trip that the US state department had criticised as "unhelpful" as it attempts to pressure the regime into abandoning its ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programmes.
