An agent fires bullet at a man (Neo) who is leaning back to avoid being hit. Arrows pointing toward the man being targeted indicate "velocity vectors of the bullets". A line indicates distance from the agent to Neo. A helicopter is nearby and notated by text that it is "approximately 4 million times more massive than a bullet".

The best answer is inertia.

Inertia is defined as the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity (which includes changes to the speed or direction of the object). It is directly proportional to the mass of the object.
