Not exactly like a cat, no. Cats purr by using muscles that vibrate their vocal cords, while elephant vocal cords are so large that they can make a similar noise without being specially vibrated. Elephants can, and do, make a noise similar to cats purring.
This sound is called 'tummy rumbling' because it sounds a bit like a tummy rumple.
Elephants make this sound to keep in contact and let the rest of the heard know that all is well.

How does the law of universal gravitation explain why gravity between an elephant and earth is greater the gravity between a cat and earth?
The law of gravity says the force experienced is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Effectively on earth the measurement of the force of gravity on a mass is the weight of the mass. As an Elephant has more mass than a Cat, it weighs more than the Cat (because the mass of the Earth is constant).
