Can you please please help me

A parcel is place on a tail-board of a stationary lorry. The tail-borad is horizontal and the coefficient of friction between the parcel and the tail-borad is 0.2. State whether or not the parcel will slide along the surface of the tail-borad when the lorry moved off horizontally with an acceleration of 1ms-2
