A 50.0 g ball is shot in the horizontal direction, aimed directly at a wall. The initial speed of the ball is 13.0 m/s, whereas when the ball bounces back, it is moving at 12.0 m/s in the opposite direction. If the contact between the ball and the wall lasts t=0.250 s, what is the strength of the force the wall exerts on the ball? Give your answer in units of newtons, to three significant figures.
