Answer:
Explanation:
The force needed to keep the elephant from slowing down is expressed as shown according to Newtons second law of motion.
Force = mass * acceleration due to gravity
Given
Mass of elephant = 500kg
acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²
Force = 500*9.81
Force = 4905N
Hence the force needed to keep the elephant from slowing down is 4905N
