An electric delivery van is traveling in a straight line along a flat road. The horizontal forces acting on the van are shown in the diagram below:

A diagram of a delivery van traveling to the right. A horizontal arrow pointing to the right represents the forward driving force from the motor, labeled 3200 N. Two horizontal arrows pointing to the left represent the resistive forces: one labeled 'Air resistance = 1100 N' and the other labeled 'Friction = 1500 N'.

a.

Determine the magnitude of the resultant horizontal force on the van.

[2]
b.

Describe the motion of the van while these forces are acting.
