Any unbalanced force will make any mass accelerate. Clearly, a small force on a big mass will result in a small acceleration, as F=ma

Which describes how the same force affects small mass and a large mass?
Gravitationally, the same force does not affect a small mass and a large mass.The small mass is acted upon by a smaller gravitational force, and the large massis acted upon by a larger gravitational force. The result is that the small mass andthe large mass fall with the same acceleration, and meet the ground with the samespeed. During the fall, onlookers typically nudge each other and remark to each other:"My word! The large mass weighs more than the small mass!" They are correct in theirimpression, and the scientific reason behind their perspicacious observation is the factthat the gravitational force acting on the large mass is greater than the gravitationalforce acting on the small mass.
When you apply a tiny force to a tiny object or a large force to a large object what do you produce?
Small force on small mass :When we exhale the air the force of exhaled air is less. Tiny particles of less masses are present in the nearer air and they start moving with large velocity. On Large mass : it's well explained in pascal's law. From that we can apply small force on larger mass .
How can an object with a large mass have the same acceleration as a an object with an small mass?
The large mass can have proportionately more force applied to it than to the smaller mass.
How do the accelerations compare if the same force is exerted first is on the large mass and then on a small mass?

Which of these would you expect to require the most force increasing acceleration of a small mass or decreasing acceleration of a small mass?
Any amount of force, no matter how large or small, will increase or decrease the speed of any mass, no matter how large or small. But if you specify how much you want the object's speed changed and how quickly you want it done, then you have specified the acceleration you want. In that case, the larger the mass is, the more force it will take to accomplish that assignment.

The mass of most objects around you does not cause a force large enough to move objects toward each other because?
the mass of the object is too small

How can the sun have a large gravitational force on the earth but a small force on you?
Earth has more mass.

Explain how a car with a large mass can have the same acceleration as a car with a small mass?
because the force the drives it
How can Gravity effectively change the force required to accelerate both a small mass and large mass objects to the same speed?
The force on a large mass is greater, but it requires a larger force to accelerate a larger mass so the aceleration becomes the same. Force = mass x acceleration. But force of gravity =mg, therefore mg =ma, so a=g.
Why is more force needed to slide a large book across a table then to slide a small book across the same table?
A large book has more mass, which requires more force to be moved.
How can the sun have a large gravitational affect on earth but a small gravitational force on you?
The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses. (sun's mass) times (earth's mass) is a very large number. (sun's mass) times (my mass) is a much smaller number.
