The total force opposing the motion of the box and parachute at a particular
instant during their fall is 30 N. The combined massof the box and parachute
is 5.0 kg. Calculatethe resultantforce acting on the box and parachute.(Take

(ii) Briefly describethe motion of'the box and parachuteat this instant.
At the instant when F: 20 N. the box is still accelerating downwards and its velocitv is
therefore still increasing. However, the acceleration is less than the initial acceleration of
8: l0 m sr.

(b) Explain why the car slowsdown when it climbs a hill eventhough the driving force
is unchanfed.
Opposing force is increasedbecausenow a component ofgravitational force parallel to the slope
acts against the upward motion of the car.
(c) Vhile travelling at 30 m s-r on the level road, the driving force becomeszero.
The massof the car is 800 kg. Calculatethe decelerationof the car.
