A bullet moves so fast, our eyes do not have time to register the light reflected off of it.

the bullet is traveling faster that the human eye can send the information to your brain. look at a fan blade (ceiling fan) and blink as fast as you can - it slows down the rate of information flow to the visual centers in your brain, but good luck trying to see a bullet

Answer:

Actually traveling bullets are not invisible. The observer just has to have good eyes and know and what to look for.

* High speed cameras easily film bullets going through balloons etc. * There's a whole school of target shooting the requires you to visually track the bullet towards the target to help you correct your aim. * During the American Civil War soldiers would track the Minnie Balls (a type of bullet) as they flew towards them and put up their hands to "pet" them. This cost quite a few lost fingers.

* Golf balls are easily tracked by TV camermen at 302 km/h. A bullet from an M-16 rifle bullet is ony 10 times faster (3,510 km/hr) and a 22 round about 1,188 km/hr, 3 times faster. * The average speed of jet airliners is about 900 km/hr, almost into "bullet" speeds. They are obviously visible. The Concord Let flew at 2,170.8 km/hr and was visible.

Define trAjectory of the bullet velocity of the bullet velocity?

Bullet trajectory is the path the bullet travels once it leaves the barrel. Bullets travel on a long arch and cross the line of sight twice. Once shortly after leaving the barrel and once again on target assuming the sights are properly zeroed. This is the trajectory of the bullet. Bullet velocity is the speed at which the bullet is traveling along it's trajectory.
