[o[2].[2] A parachute opens during the spacecraft’s descent through the atmosphere. Figure 2 shows the parachute—spacecraft system, with the open parachute displacing
the atmospheric gas. This causes the system to decelerate.

displacement of gas
Explain, with reference to Newton's laws of motion, why displacing the atmospheric
gas causes a force on the system and why this force causes the system to
decelerate.
