Answer:

-20N

Step-by-step explanation:

The racquet ball will bounce back with the same force.

This is in compliance with newton's third law of motion:

"action and reaction are equal but opposite"

If the ball hits the wall with an action force of 20N, the reaction force will be -20N.

The negative indicates an oppositely directed force.
