The force is calculated by multiplying mass and gravitational acceleration (F= mg). To find the solution, the mass of the elephant (5600 kg) is multiplied by gravity (9.8 m/s²). The result is 55,880 N, representing the upward gravitational force the elephant exerts on the Earth.
The change in momentum (i.e., impulse) from the car during the collision remains constant regardless of whether an airbag is present. This is because the car's mass is unchanged, and the velocity change remains the same. Therefore, if the force is constant as F and reduced by a factor of 110, it follows that the collision duration must increase by the same factor when the airbag is utilized.
1) The buoyant force acting on an object submerged in a fluid can be described as:

where

indicates the fluid's density,

represents the volume of the fluid displaced, and

signifies the gravitational acceleration.
2) To determine the volume of the displaced fluid, we note that the titanium object is entirely submerged in the fluid (air), thus this volume matches the volume of 1 Kg of titanium, which has a density of

. Using the correlation between density, volume, and mass, we derive

3) We can now revisit the equation in step 1) to compute the buoyant force. Given that the air density is

, this provides us with

4) The weight of 1 Kg of titanium is:

Therefore, the buoyant force is negligible when compared to the weight.
a) 3.56 x 10^22 N. b) 3.56 x 10^22 N. The sun’s mass is M = 2 x 10^30 kg, while the Earth's mass is m = 6 x 10^24 kg, with a distance of R = 1.5 x 10^11 m separating them. Applying Newton's law for gravitational force F = G (mM / R²), where G = 6.67 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2 gives us F = 3.56 x 10^22 N. A) The gravitational force by the sun on Earth equates to the force exerted by Earth on the sun, which is also 3.56 x 10^22 N.
