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 differentobjects, you'd immediately see that the smaller an object's mass is, the more
acceleration results.
You need to get two suitcases. Fill one of the suitcases with books or bricks, and leave the other suitcase empty.
Now carry both suitcases upstairs, one at a time. Do you think one requires greater force?
If it's the heavy one, then "true". If the lighter one requires more work, then "false".
>>> dont be a jerk. this is true. the heavier an object is, the greater force is needed to move it.
Not the number of atoms per say, but the number of nuclear particles in the object.
And remember that gravity is a reaction between two masses,
since the mass of each planet is different, then the weight of any given object will be different.
Its inertia, which is basically its mass.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean when you say "heavier" and "lighter". Does that mean the object's "weight" ? Could that be the same as the gravitational force on it ?
Heavier body have grater mass which leads to greater force requirement to put them in motion. Force is given by F=ma Therefore, if m is greater than required force F is greater. Secondly, the inertia of rest of heavier object is greater than the lighter object hence the greater initial effort is required
The reason that a heavier object does not fall faster even though there is more gravitational force on it is because it has more mass, and more energy is required to accelerate the greater mass. A small mass doesn't need a lot of force on it to accelerate it. It's "light" in weight. But a heavier one needs more force on it to accelerate it equally. Want a heavier object to accelerate the same as a lighter one? Apply more force. Gravity does that. Automatically. Think it through and it will lock in.
The larger the force acting upon an object, the greater the acceleration of the object.
Lifting an object to a greater height requires more energy, but not any more force, thanlifting it to a not-as-great height.
the heavier object

weight is the force gravity exerts on an object. Therefore, it means that the greater weight an object has, the greater force is needed to move it in the opposite direction.
Second Law of Motion: Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. the greater the mass ( of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed ( to accelerate the object).
A force is needed to move an object.

Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain still, or remain moving at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by an outside force. Thus the measure of this quality is the mass of an object since acceleration is equal to the force applied to an object multiplied by its mass. The greater the mass, the less acceleration a given force will impart to it. In order to impart greater acceleration to a given mass, greater force is needed.
Yes.
Assuming the two surfaces are the same, the amount of friction is proportional to the mass of the object, so the heavier the rock the greater will be the frictional force.
