42. A 2.0 g bullet initially moving with a velocity of 87 m/s passes through a block of wood. On exiting the block of wood, the bullet's velocity is 12 m/s. How much work did the force of friction do on the bullet as it passed through the wood? If the wood block was 4.0 cm thick, what was the average force that the wood exerted on the block?
