A car of mass 1,712 kg collides with a wall. The initial speed of the car is 16 m/s. After collision, the car bounced in the opposite direction at a speed of 3.1 m/s. If the collision lasted for 158 ms, what was the average force in newtons exerted on the car by the wall? Express your answer in two decimal places with units of Newton.
