A bullet of mass 0.0395 kg is fired toward board with a thickness of 0.0295 m. Its speed is 355 m/s before making contact with the board and it passes through the board. The average force exerted on the bullet by the board has a magnitude of 732 N. What is the speed of the bullet, in m/s, after passing through the board? (The weight of the bullet is negligible relative to the force exerted by the board. Assume the force exerted by the board is constant.)
