Newton accelerates more than the elephant because acceleration is determined by the force applied relative to mass, according to Newton's second law of motion (F=ma). If Newton exerts a greater force relative to his mass compared to the elephant, he will experience a higher acceleration. Additionally, because the elephant has a much larger mass, it requires a significantly greater force to achieve the same acceleration as Newton.

What law says that heavier objects require more force than lighter objects to move or accelerate them?

Does an object with more weight repuire more force to accelerate than an object with lighter weight?

It certainly does. That's why you have to push it harder to accelerate it horizontally. But that "more weight" that it has is exactly the more force it needs for vertical acceleration, and that's why all objects fall with the same acceleration.


Why is air resistance a frictional force?

If you drop an elephant and an equal weight amount of feathers, the elephant will hit the ground first. The elephant falls faster than the feather because it never reaches a terminal velocity; it continues to accelerate as it falls accumulating more and more air resistance.


Does a hippo weigh more than an elephant?

Well, it depends on the variables.If the elephant is a baby, and the hippo is an adult, than, yes.But the elephant is an adult and the hippo a baby, the elephant weighs more.If they are both adults, the adult elephant STILL weighs MORE.


The same force is constantly applied to two movable objects the more massive object will?

Accelerate less than the object with the smaller mass, as per Newton's 2nd Law.

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.


Does a heavier object have more inertia than a lighter object?

Yes, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. Heavier objects have more inertia than lighter objects because they require more force to accelerate or decelerate.


Does a rhino weigh more than an elephant?

The rhino would win because it has a sharp weapon to stab the elephant with, of course!!!
