    20,000 N

    Explanation:

    First find the acceleration:

    a = Δv / Δt

    a = (0 - 40 m/s) / 10 s

    a = - 4 m/s²

    Next use Newton's second law to find the force on the car:

    F = ma

    F = (5000 kg) (-4 m/s²)

    F = - 20,000 N

    According to Newton's third law, the force on the wall is equal and opposite the force on the car.

    F = 20,000 N
