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.

What energy is in a traveling bullet?

A traveling bullet primarily carries kinetic energy due to its motion through the air. This kinetic energy is derived from the initial potential energy stored in the bullet when it was fired.

A bullet traveling through the body causes tissue destruction through outward forces called?

A bullet traveling through the body causes tissue destruction through outward forces called cavitation. Cavitation occurs when the bullet creates a temporary cavity as it moves and displaces tissue, resulting in damage beyond the bullet's direct path.


If a bullet is fired out of a fighter jet traveling Max speed does the bullet travel faster than if it were fired at a stand still?

No. The bullet will actually travel much slower due to wind resistance.


If you are travling at the speed of a bullet and then fire a bullet what happens?

The gun and the bullet are already traveling at a high speed. Firing the gun results in the bullet leaving the gun. Its relative velocity to someone standing still would be twice the speed. But its relative velocity to the gun would simply be the normal speed of the bullet. A similar question is the one if your traveling in a car at the speed of light what would happen when you turn on the headlights? No one is really sure. in short, the bullet would go twice the regular speed in a vacuum. I agree with the first bit and have ed a similar question on here. I find the vacuum bit of the above a bit irrelevant. A bullet fired in a vacuum would emerge at the normal speed (around 2,000+mph for a rifle round) but would carry on forever as there would be no air resistance.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of traveling by bullet train compared to traveling by plane?

Advantages of traveling by bullet train compared to plane include shorter travel times for shorter distances, more comfortable seating, and easier boarding processes. Disadvantages may include limited route options, slower speeds for longer distances, and potentially higher ticket prices.


What is the application of super cavitation in bullets traveling underwater?

Inducing cavitation in water at the front of a bullet would eliminate water friction on most of the surface of the bullet. Doing so would greatly increase the maximum speed and maximum range of an underwater projectile. Experiments have shown that it is possible to fire bullets with cavitation devices at speeds exceeding the speed of sound in water; this would make such a projectile invisible to submarines relying on sonar.
