A bullet traveling horizontally at a speed of 370m/s hits a board perpendicular to its surface, passes through and emerges on the other side at a speed of 220m/s. If the board is 3.90 thick, how long does the bullet take to pass through it?

The average speed of the bullet while it penetrates the board is
V = (370[m/s] + 220[m/s])/2 = 295[m/s].
Assuming that the velocity of the bullet decreases linearly, it takes
T = 3.90[cm]/295[m/s] = 0.039[m]/295[m/s] = 1.322·10^(-4)[s]
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
