With a given braking system (car or rocketship), the system has to dissipate the Kinetic energy of the object. Kinetic formula for K.E. is 1/2MV2 (that 2 means squared). Therefore, the stopping distance increases linearly with the MASS.
Another way to look at it is the Force required to stop the MASS, which is:
F=M x A, so again as MASS increases the required Force increases Linearly.

∙ 6y agoThe faster you are going the longer the stopping distance is.
The slower you are going the shorter the stopping distance is.

More massive bodies will have greater stopping distance than less massive, given they are travelling with the exact same speed. This is due body's inertial forces.
For example, take a very large balloon and a truck. If you were to push the balloon and the truck to go with the same velocity, and then try to stop them, it would take you a lot longer to stop the truck then the balloon, because it is much heavier.

∙ 13y agoWell think of it this way. Basically, mass sort of "attracts" gravity, so the more mass an object has, the more pull gravity has. Therefore, the stopping distance being shorter.
I would imagine this is more about the energy required to move a larger force remains as moments of inertia. The more energy carried by an object with greater mass requires a greater force to stop it.

What are the factors on which gravitational field intensity depend?
Mass of object and distance from it
What is the speed it takes to move a 1 kilogram mass in one hour?
To know the speed of an object we need to know the distance the object travels and the time it takes. The object's mass is not needed. Since we do no know the distance in this case, we cannot solve to find its speed.
Does the height give any difference in mass?
"Does The Height of an Object Affect its mass?"*short answer - no. longer answer - mass is constant for a given object... WEIGHT is what changes at different heights above earth.*learn to spell, noob!
Momentum is the product of mass and what of an object?
mass multiplied by velocity gives momentum.
Why is F=G M1 M2 /d^2?
F is force and it is equal to the gravitational constant times the mass of the first object times the mass of the second object divided by the distance between the two squared.
What affect the strength of gravity between two object?
-- The mass of one object. -- The mass of the other object. -- The distance between their centers of mass.
What are the factors that affect gravitation?
Mass of the first object, mass of the second object, distance between the objects.
Does the mass of an object change as the distance from the center of gravity changes?
Mass doesn't change. Mass the is substance of an object, moving it around won't affect how much mass it has, only adding or subtracting from the object would affect the quantity of mass. The weight would change because gravity is inversely proportional to distance but not the mass.
How does mass affect the distance of a canapulted object?
Catapult and not canapult. Any way for a given energy as mass of the object increases then distance would get decreased as velocity gets reduced.
What is the relationship between a car's mass and its stopping distance?
The greater the mass of the car and its occupants the longer the stopping distance that is required for the vehicle. Stopping distance is calculated by taking into account car mass and reaction time in braking
What affects the gravitational pull between two objects?
The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.
How does increasing the mass of an object affect the distance the object travels?
In zero gravity, the mass of an object does not effect the distance an object travels at all unless there is a constent force acting upon it. However, if it is in contact with another object, and gravity is what keeps the 2 or more objects touching each other, then mass will effect the distance it travels because of friction.
What two things affect the gravitational force acting on an object?
The mass of the object that is exerting the force and the distance between the two objects.
What are the 3 factors of weight?
The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.
Does a moving object's distance depend on the object's mass and velocity?
The distance doesn't depend on the mass.
Does mass affect a car's stopping distance?
more mass means more inertia, inertia refers the a objects resistance to begin moving or to stop moving, therefore yes it does
What are some things that affect the amount of gravitational force on an object?
The amount of mass of the object and other objects near by, as well as distance to the other objects.
