A 230g bullet moving at 442 m / s passes through a 10.0 cm thick block of wood and exits the block with a speed of 120 m / s. Consider that the change in speed of the bullet occurs uniformly and determine the value of the average force that prevents the bullet from moving as it passes through the block of wood.
