Please help just write the answer for the two questions below A balloon is tied to the floor of a minivan. Currently, the balloon isn't going straightup like normal, but is instead bending towards the back of the van. This is because...The van is accelerating forwards (speeding up).The van is accelerating backwards (slowing down/braking).The van is at rest.The vehicle is moving forward at a constant velocity.The vehicle is moving backward at a constant velocity (reversing). Usually the balloon in the van would try to go straight up, what is responsible for itgoing towards the back of the van?The tension in the string is pushing the balloon backwards.There is a higher density of air at the back of the van, which causes the heliumballoon to be pulled towards the back of the van.Nothing is forcing it backwards, as the van accelerates forwards the balloonnaturally wants to remain where it was in the Earth frame of reference, accordingto Newton's first law of motion.There is a higher density of air at the front of the van, which causes the heliumballoon to be pushed away from the front of the van.

According to our policy, we are answering only 1st question. Please post the next question as…

I am playing tug-o-war with my three nephews. The youngest in pulling with a force of 185 N. The middle child is pulling with a force of 323 N. The oldest is pulling with a force of 705 N.

Two people pull as hard as they can on horizontal ropes attached to a boat that has a mass of 200 kg. If they pull in the same direction, the boat has an acceleration of 1.52 m/s2 to the right. If they pull in opposite directions, the boat has an acceleration of 0.518 m/s2 to the left. What is the magnitude of the force each person exerts on the boat? Disregard any other horizontal forces on the boat.
A car is stuck in the mud. A tow truck pulls on the car with the arrangement shown in Fig. P4.32. The tow cable is under a tension of 2 500 N and pulls downward and to the left on the pin at its upper end. The light pin is held in equilibrium by forces exerted by the two bars A and B. Each bar is a strut; that is, each is a bar whose weight is small compared to the forces it exerts and which exerts forces only through hinge pins at its ends. Each strut exerts a force directed parallel to its length. Determine the force of tension or compression in each strut. Proceed as follows. Make a guess as to which way (pushing or pulling) each force acts on the top pin. Draw a free-body diagram of the pin. Use the condition for equilibrium of the pin to translate the free-body diagram into equations. From the equations calculate the forces exerted by struts A and B. If you obtain a positive answer, you correctly guessed the direction of the force. A negative answer means that the direction should be reversed, but the absolute value correctly gives the magnitude of the force. If a strut pulls on a pin, it is in tension. If it pushes, the strut is in compression. Identify whether each strut is in tension or in compression.
