Do object with more mass accelerate faster than object with less mass?

No. If an object is being pushed with the same force, the acceleration will be lower if the mass of the object is higher.
If the question refers to an object falling due to gravity, then the force is proportional to the mass. As the mass increases, so the force of gravity also increases and the acceleration will remain the same.

Imagine pushing a skateboard compared to pushing a lorry, you need a LOT more force to make the lorry accelerate as fast as the skateboard.

∙ 9y agoNo, an object with less mass accelerates faster than an object with more mass. We can prove this by seeing the relation between the following two formulas.
1. Acceleration = Force/Mass
2. Acceleration = Change in Velocity/Change in time
From the first formula, we see that, if the mass increases, the acceleration of the object decreases since mass and acceleration are inversely proportional to each other. If we come to the second formula, as acceleration of the object decreases, then rate of change of time must increase since they are also inversely proportional to each other.
Thus, an object with less mass accelerates faster than an object with more mass.

∙ 11y agoI depends about the amount of force applied, so larger objects require a larger amount of force to accelerate as much as a smaller would without the greater force applied.

Why do two objects with different mass will fall at the same time?
-- It takes more force to accelerate an object with more mass. ... Gravity exerts more force on an object with more mass. -- It takes less force to accelerate an object with less mass. ... Gravity exerts less force on an object with less mass. Whatever the mass of the object happens to be, gravity always exerts just the right amount of force to accelerate it at always the same rate ... 9.8 meters per second2.
Will a sky diver with a greater mass accelerate faster that a sky diver with less mass?
Yes
Why does it require much less force to accelerate a low mass object than it does to accelerate a high mass object the same amount?
a sponge will have more matter packed in the same space
If a constant force acts on two object's of different masses which object will accelerate more?
Force = mass times acceleration, so the smaller mass will accelerate more.
What can you do to accelerate an object faster if you can not increase the force?
Force is mass x acceleration so in order to increase the acceleration without increasing the force, you must decrease the mass.
What will make an object accelerate faster one with less inertia or more momentum?
If an object has more momentum, it has either a greater mass or a greater velocity. If an object has less inertia, it has less mass. So am object with less inertia will accelerate faster than one with greater momentum because of a greater mass, assuming the same force of acceleration is applied to both. However, if the greater momentum is due to greater velocity, not enough information has been provided to answer the question.

Will a sky diver with a greater mass accelerate faster that a sky diver with less mass?
Yes
The less mass a moving object has the?
its faster
why does an object with less mass have larger acceleration?
Whenna given force is applied ,an oobject with greater mass will accelerate less
Why does it require much less force to accelerate a low mass object than it does to accelerate a high mass object the same amount?
a sponge will have more matter packed in the same space
How is motion of an object affected when force acts on it?
If a force is exerted on an object, it will accelerate in inverse proportion to its mass in the direction of the force. For example, if two objects of different mass are subjected to the same force, the less massive object will accelerate more.
The force required to slide an object is equal to?
The force required to accelerate an object depends on the object's mass. Newton's second law states that Force = Mass * Acceleration. Re-written to solve for acceleration, this becomes Acceleration = Force/Mass. Basically, this means that the more mass an object has, the more force is required to accelerate it. Also, the faster you want to accelerate the object, the more force you will need.
Why dont heavy objects fall faster than light ones?
-- Gravity pulls harder on objects with more mass than it does on objects with less mass. -- But objects with more mass need more force on them to accelerate as fast as objects with less mass. -- So it all balances out . . . no matter how much mass an object has, every object on Earth falls with the same acceleration.
What is true of an object with a lot of mass?
Such an object makes a larger dent in the fabric of space-time than an object with little mass. (It has a greater gravitational attraction than less massive objects)A greater force is required to accelerate such an object than a less massive object
If a constant force acts on two object's of different masses which object will accelerate more?
Force = mass times acceleration, so the smaller mass will accelerate more.
What can you do to accelerate an object faster if you can not increase the force?
Force is mass x acceleration so in order to increase the acceleration without increasing the force, you must decrease the mass.
