A car of mass 1,907 kg collides with a wall. The initial speed of the car is 18.2 m/s. After collision, the car bounced in the opposite direction at a speed of 2.9 m/s. If the collision lasted for 172 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.

Two figure skaters are coasting in the same direction, with the leading skater moving at 5.5 m/s and the trailing skating moving at 6.2 m/s. When the trailing skater catches up with the leading skater, he picks her up without applying any horizontal forces on his skates. If the trailing skater is 50 heavier than the 50-kg leading skater, what is their speed after he picks her up?
