What is the relationship between the acceleration velocity and time for a freely falling leaf and a freely falling elephant striking the ground in an evacuated environment?

In an evacuated environment, i.e. in the total absence of air, a leaf and an elephant released
from the same height at the same time fall with the same acceleration, acquire the same velocity
at any instant during their fall, and end their respective experiences by encountering the ground
at precisely the same time.

Why do a coin and a feather in a vaccum tube fall with the same acceleration?
There IS gravity in a vacuum first of all. The gravity accelerates both the penny and the feather at the same rate, about 9.81 meters per second. And since there is no air, there are no frictional forces acting on them, which normally make the feather move slower. So they go at the same speed! Hope this helps!

Does an elephant has more gravitational force than a mouse?
Yes. An elephant has a greater mass than a mouse and therefore experiences more gravitational force.

Why does an elephant weigh more on the earth than on the moon?
Earth has more gravity. The elephant's mass will hardly change if you take it to the Moon, and:weight = mass x gravity
Where is an elephant's environment?
Tundra

How does the Asian Elephant adapt to its environment?
by its very small ears
Why is the elephant heavier than the mouse?
On both it has the same amount of gravity but it has a different amount of force. The elephant might weighmore than the cat but they both have the exact same amount of gravity, or as others say it, acceleration. So the answer would be that it pull down on both of them with an equal amount of force.
Newton's 2nd law examples?
Imagine you are standing below a taaaaaaall building. Now imagine someone has thrown down an elephant and a bag of salt at different heights. The bag of salt was tossed out at the tallest point on the building. The elephant was tossed out only 1 foot from the ground. The elephant has a mass of about 2 tons (4000pounds). The bag of salt has a mass of about 1 kilogram. The elephant has an acceleration (lets say) 1 meter per second squared. The penny has (once its at the bottom) has an acceleration of (lets say) 2000 meters per second squared. The elephant will have a force of about 1800 Newtons. The bag of salt will have a force of about 2000 Newtons. The bag of salt actually has more force than the elephant because it has a higher acceleration. Newton's 2nd law depends on the combination of mass and acceleration.

What is a parasitism in tropical savanna?
Parasitism is a type of symbolic relationship in the Tropical Savanna. An example of parasitism is between the tick and the African elephant. The tick is the parasite which feeds off the African elephant. The elephant does not benefit from this relationship because it is exposed to diseases and loses blood to the tick. The tick benefits because it gains blood which is its food.
