F= ma
Heavier objects require larger forces to move them !
Likewise, Lighter object require small forces

What is any object with a mass that exerts a force on any other object with mass is called?
gravitational mass
What is the amount of mass is in an object is it it's weight?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the force of gravity on an object.
What is the mass of an object if the force of gravity action on its mass is 1033 newtons?
On earth, the object's mass is approximately 105.33kg
2nd law of newton?
The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased. To put it as it is often put: Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma): the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
What is the force of gravity at Pluto's surface on an object with a mass of 100 kg?
The force of gravity at Pluto's surface on an object with a mass of 100kg is approximately 58N .
How can you double an object's acceleration without changing its mass?
Double the net force acting on it.
How does the force required to move an object change depending on the objects mass?
It takes no force to 'move' an object. There are trillions of objects that are moving right now with no forces acting on them. It only takes force to 'accelerate' an object ... to change its motion, by changing its speed or the direction of its motion. force=mass*acceleration As mass increases, so does the force needed to change the object's motion.
How can you change an object's acceleration?
force=mass*acceleration Therefore acceleration = force/mass This means you can change an objects acceleration in two ways, either by applying a force to the object (for example pushing a shopping trolly). You can also change the acceleration of an object by changing the mass of the object (putting shopping in the shopping trolly)
How does mass determine the force of gravity of an object in space such as the earth or moon?
Mass doesn't change when gravity is applied. Mass: The amount of matter in an object VS. Weight: The force of gravity on an object. Example: A cow is 800 kg on Earth, and 800 kg on the moon because you are not changing what the cow is made of.
When can an object have Acceleration?
Whenever there is a resultant force acting on a body which is having some mass, then that body will accelerate (or) A body whose velocity is changing with respect to time and having some mass then the body will accelerate.
Why force changes the speed of an object?
Force = Mass * Acceleration or Acceleration = Force / MassThe Mass is the mass of the object and the Acceleration is the change of speed of the object due to the Force.
How much mass does a celestial object have to have to exert gravitational force?
There is no minimum mass at which point an object (celestial or otherwise) begins to have a gravitational force. Any object with mass has an associated gravitational force. The magnitude of that force is proportional to to the mass of the object - lots of mass results in lots of gravitational force; little masses result in only little gravitational force.
How do photons exert force if force is mass times acceleration and photons have no rest mass and travel at constant speed?
The problem in the posed question is the "mass" in the equation you quote is the mass of the object upon which the force (whether it be a photon or not) is acting, NOT the mass of the object exerting the force. You can MEASURE the net force on an object with mass simply by measuring the acceleration of that object and dividing it by the object's mass. Or you can predict an acceleration of an object with mass by calculating what its net force will be, and then dividing that by the object's mass. Unrelated to the above excellent answer, but another comment on the question: You mention, correctly, that photons have no rest-mass. But the photon is never at rest, and at the speed at which it moves from place to place, it has mass.
How are acceleration and force the same?
Force and acceleration are NOT the same. If you apply a net force to an object, it causes the object to accelerate. The amount of acceleration depends on the force and the mass of the object. Force = mass x acceleration.
When the line of action of a force intersects the center of mass of an object can that force produce a torque about the object's center of mass?
no
What part of an object is a measure of the force of gravity between earth and the object?
The object has mass, and the force of gravity gives that object weight, which is mass in a gravimetric field.
What two things can change the acceleration of an object?
The two factors are 1. the mass of the object, and 2. the force exerted on it.
