Why is it harder to stop a heavy object?

because a heaver object has more mounmentom


Does a heavier object always have more inertia than a lighter object?

Inertia is "rotary momentum"; an object's ability to continue spinning when a decelerating force is applied.Just as a heavy object takes more effort to stop from the same speed as a light object, so does a heavy object take more effort to stop from turning at the same speed as a light object.So assuming they are turning at the same angular velocity, the heavier one has a larger inertia. Otherwise, remember that inertia is also proportional to angular velocity.


What is relationship between heavy object and inertia?

an object at rest continues to be at rest ( inertia ) until an outside force is applied to begin motion : an object in motion continues in the same motion ( inertia ) until an opposing force is applied to change the direction ( vector ) or to stop the motion...the weight ( mass ) of the object is directly related to the amount of energy required to be motion, change motion or stop motion....


What determines how hard it would be to stop an object in motion.?

The equation is F = M A, where F is the Force required to stop the object, M is the object's Mass, and A is its Acceleration. Note that its acceleration in this case is the rate at which you are DE-ACCELERATING the object to stop it.


Why lighter pendulum stop faster than the heavy one?

more mass in motion= higher stored energy, requiring more forces (friction, gravity) to still the momentum of the heavier object.

A light object has less momentum than a heavy object. A light object would stop first.

What is the metal thing you throw off a boat to make it stop?

An anchor is fastened to a chain and or hawser. It is used to fasten a ship or boat to the sea bed, and so prevent the vessel from drifting. The anchor is only dropped once the way is almost off the vessel - it is not normally used to bring the vessel to a stop.

How does Archimedes principle apply to a boat?

A boat displaces it's own weight of water, when floating. The trick is to make sure that there is enough waterplane area and freeboard, to stop water coming in and making it heavy enough to sink.
