If the force is gravity, the answer is yes. Gravity "pulls" on an object in proportion to its mass. A heavier (more massive) object is pulled on by gravity more than a lighter (less massive) object. A football tackle is pulled on by gravity more than the average grade school student.

∙ 12y agoWell, gravitationally speaking . . .
-- If the two masses are alone out in space and just attracting each other, then
the gravitational force on each one attracting it to the other one is the same.
-- If the masses are in the presence of another mass that's way more massive
than they are ... like for example they're both on the same planet ... then the
gravitational force between the planet and any object is proportional to the
object's mass. The force on a less massive object will be less than the force
on a more massive object.
That's just an obfuscatory way of saying: Objects with more mass weigh more.

∙ 13y agoNo. Weight, which is the force due to gravity, is proportional to mass, so a more massive object (in the same gravity field) weighs more than a less massive object.

Because mercury is less massive than earth things there would weigh?
they would weigh more. more gravity= more weightadd. With a smaller gravity, they would weigh LESS.
When the mass of one object is considerably Less than the mass of another object is the action-reaction force not noticeable?
If the MASS of the 1st Object in a COLLISION is too small to generate a FORCE large enough to overcome the INERTIA of the 2nd Object, then the more massive Object will not move. This could make it look like the more massive object is not REACTING to the Collision.
Do you weigh more or less on Venus?
9.7% less than you weigh on Earth, 138% more than you weigh on Mars.
Will an object that is pulled into a black hole become more massive?
no
Compared to less massive particles at the same temperature more massive particles?
Move more quickly.
Does the object weigh more on the earth or moon?
It weighs more on the earth. The moon is much less massive than earth, so it attracts objects with a smaller force.
Does an object weigh more on the moon or on earth?
It weighs more on the earth. The moon is much less massive than earth, so it attracts objects with a smaller force.
Because mercury is less massive than earth things there would weigh?
they would weigh more. more gravity= more weightadd. With a smaller gravity, they would weigh LESS.
True or False Lighter objects have less inertia than heavy objects?
True. An object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest.
When brought to the surface of a moon will a mass have more or less weight when it did on the surface of th earth?
The mass will definitely weigh less as the moon is less massive than the Earth and hence the Gravity of the Moon will be lesser than Earth. The object's weight will be 1/6 times that on Earth.
When the mass of one object is considerably Less than the mass of another object is the action-reaction force not noticeable?
If the MASS of the 1st Object in a COLLISION is too small to generate a FORCE large enough to overcome the INERTIA of the 2nd Object, then the more massive Object will not move. This could make it look like the more massive object is not REACTING to the Collision.
Do larger object weighs more than smaller object?
Seeing as a bouncy beach ball is larger than many small things that weigh more, such as a stool, and plenty of other objects are larger and weigh less, no.
Does a floating object weigh more when underwater?
Statistically it weighs the same, but it feels less when it is submerged underwater.
Why does a solid weigh less when frozen?
For an object that is already a solid the change in its temperature does not affect its weight by any noticeable amount. The only change would result from the volume decrease as the object contracts when cooled. By occupying less space, it would displace less air and that would decrease the buoyancy of the object. That, though, would cause the object to weigh (slightly) more.
The same force is constantly applied to two movable objects the more massive object will?
Accelerate less than the object with the smaller mass, as per Newton's 2nd Law.
What does it mean a less massive object will speed up more quickly than a more massive object subjected to the same force?
For example, if you push a canoe for 10 seconds with a certain force, and if you push an ocean liner for 10 seconds with the same force, the canoe will be moving faster, because it has less mass.
Object that are more massive accelerate faster on the moon than those that are less masive?
yep the same as thing happens aon erth
