Why is A heavier objects harder to accelerate than a lighter object?
A heavier object has more mass than the lighter object.The acceleration of any object is (force on the object) divided by (the object's mass).A = F/MAs this simple fraction shows, if equal forces were applied to many different objects, you'd immediately see that the smaller an object's mass is, the moreacceleration results.
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.
What law of motion explains why a pingpong ball accelerates faster than a golf ball when hit with the same force?
Force = (mass) x (acceleration) Acceleration = (force) / (mass) With the same force applied, a smaller mass has greater acceleration. A baseball has less mass than a shot has, so the same force gives it greater acceleration.
Does a smaller object with the same force will accelerate the same than a larger object?
The smaller object will have a larger acceleration than the larger object. This is because, from Newton's second law, the acceleration of a body is given by: a = F/m where a is acceleration F is resultant force and m is mass F is constant, so acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. Hence, the smaller object will have a larger acceleration.
An object that is thrown vertically upward will return to its original position with the same speed as it had initially if air resistance is negligible if air resistance is appreciable?
As an object rises WITH air resistance, the acceleration is larger in size than g, because both gravity and air resistance will be causing a downward acceleration. As the object FALLS with air resistance, the acceleration will be smaller in size than g, because gravity and resistance will be opposing each other. Because of the smaller acceleration being applied over the same distance, the return speed will be slower than the launch speed.

Why does acceleration differ in moon and earth?
everything in the universe attracts each other, the heavier and closer two things are, the more they attract each other, except this effect is much to small to be felt on everyday objects, and only becomes apparent on very large objects such as the moon and the earth. but the moon is much lighter than the earth, and has a smaller radius (the distance between the centre of the earth, and the object, making each planet have a different acceleration due to gravity, making acceleration different as objects are pulled to the earth/moon at different speeds.
How does force affect stationary object of different masses?
Force accelerates stationary masses as acceleration a=f/m; theacceleration is inverse to the mass. The smaller the mass the larger the acceleration and the larger the mass the smaller the acceleration.
Why does the object with less mass have a larger acceleration?
Newton's Second Law says force = mass * acceleration. If you push on two objects with the same force, the object with the smaller mass will have a greater acceleration.
What are the meaning of the different types of microscopes?
to see smaller objects.
If the mass of an object is increased with no change in the force applied what will be the difference in its acceleration?
What you are wanting to know is found in Newton's Second Law. The equation used is Acceleration = (Net force)/(Mass) or Force equals mass times acceleration; [F = m * a] So, if the mass is increased but the force remains constant, then the acceleration will decrease. (For the same force applied, larger masses experience less acceleration than smaller masses.)

The large mass can have proportionately more force applied to it than to the smaller mass.
How can you increase acceleration in reference to mass and force?
By looking at the equation F=ma we have two ways to increase acceleration. If we keep the mass constant and increase the force applied then the acceleration of the object will increase. If we keep the force constant and use a smaller mass then the mass will experience a greater acceleration than a greater mass.
How can an objects weight change even though it contains the same mass?
An objects weight depends on the acceleration due to gravity. If an object which has a mass of 2 kg is weighed on earth, it will weigh 2 X 9.8= 19.6 newtons. However, if the same object is taken to the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.62 m/s2, it will weigh 2 X 1.62= 3.24 newtons. In general, an objects weight will change even if you take it to the top of a very high point on earth where the acceleration due to gravity will be slightly smaller. to answer your question: an objects weight can change if it is taken to a location with a different force of gravity or acceleration due to gravity.
