To find the force exerted by the car on the wall during the crash, we can use Newton's Second Law of Motion. The formula for this is force = mass x acceleration.
First, we need to find the acceleration of the car as it crashes into the wall. Since the car is coming to a stop, the acceleration is equal to the final velocity (0 m/s) minus the initial velocity (15 m/s), divided by the time it takes for the car to come to a stop.
Let's say it takes the car 3 seconds to come to a stop. The acceleration would be (0 - 15) / 3 = -5 m/s^2.
Next, we can plug in the values into the formula:
force = mass x acceleration
force = 2,000 kg x -5 m/s^2
force = -10,000 N
Therefore, the force exerted by the car on the wall during the crash is 10,000 Newtons.
