Question

If each elephant has a mass of 5000 kg, what is the acceleration of the elephants? (numeric Answers only in m/s^2)

Answer 1

Since Force = mass x acceleration

If the force = 0, then

The acceleration = 0

From the given figure

Since the elephants moved in the opposite directions with the same force, then

The net force = 0

Then the acceleration also = 0

The acceleration of the elephants is 0 m/s^2
