To calculate the average force exerted on the car, we can use Newton's second law of motion. The formula is given by:

Average force = (change in momentum) / (time)

First, let's calculate the change in momentum. The initial momentum (p1) can be calculated using the formula:

p1 = mass × initial velocity

Given that the car is moving at 25 m/s, we need more information to calculate the mass of the car. As it is not provided, we cannot determine the change in momentum or the average force without this information.
