Does a more massive object weigh more than less massive one?
If the force is gravity, the answer is yes. Gravity "pulls" on an object in proportion to its mass. A heavier (more massive) object is pulled on by gravity more than a lighter (less massive) object. A football tackle is pulled on by gravity more than the average grade school student.
When the mass of one object is considerably Less than the mass of another object is the action-reaction force not noticeable?
If the MASS of the 1st Object in a COLLISION is too small to generate a FORCE large enough to overcome the INERTIA of the 2nd Object, then the more massive Object will not move. This could make it look like the more massive object is not REACTING to the Collision.
How does the strength of gravitational force on earth differ between a mountain and a car?
The more massive object will have a greater mass. Mass and gravity are interrelated. More mass, more gravity.
Explain how mass and the distance of an object from other objects affect its gravitational force?
The farther away the objects are the weaker the pull of gravity is. Also, the more massive an object is, the stronger the gravitional pull is.
Will an object that is pulled into a black hole become more massive?
no

What affect does mass have on acceleration?
this equation might help force = mass * acceleration the more massive an object is the more force is required to accelerate it

How is motion of an object affected when force acts on it?
If a force is exerted on an object, it will accelerate in inverse proportion to its mass in the direction of the force. For example, if two objects of different mass are subjected to the same force, the less massive object will accelerate more.
A very massive object A and a less massive object B move toward each other under the influence of gravitation Which force if either is greater?
If gravity is moving the objects toward each other, a massive body (i.e. the earth) will be in the way. If the objects are at the same ditance from this body, a greater force is exerted on object A.
What does it mean a less massive object will speed up more quickly than a more massive object subjected to the same force?
For example, if you push a canoe for 10 seconds with a certain force, and if you push an ocean liner for 10 seconds with the same force, the canoe will be moving faster, because it has less mass.
Why the mutual force of attraction between apple and earth is equal and opposite but the apple moves towards the earth appear to be at rest?
The Earth is more massive. The same force will result in less acceleration on a more massive object (Newton's Second Law).

The Earth is more massive. The same force will result in less acceleration on a more massive object (Newton's Second Law).
Why all bodies falling freely takes equal time in reaching ground from a certain height regardless of their masses?
-- Acceleration produced by a force on a body depends on the strength of the force, and also on the object's mass. More force on something accelerates it more, but the same force on a more massive object accelerates it less, just as you'd expect. -- Gravity produces more force on more massive objects, less force on less massive objects ... in just exactly the right amount so that the acceleration of every object turns out the same. -- Since gravity causes the same acceleration on every object, they all pick up speed at the same rate when they fall, and they all fall the same distance in the same amount of time.
What two factors make gravity wearker or stronger?
Two factors that make gravity weaker or stronger are mass and distance. A more massive object has a greater force of gravity than a less massive object, and the closer two objects are increases the gravitational force between them.
The same force is constantly applied to two movable objects the more massive object will?
Accelerate less than the object with the smaller mass, as per Newton's 2nd Law.
Does the force of gravity increase decrease or stay the same if the object it is acting on is more massive?
If the product of the two masses increases, then the gravitational force in both directions between them increases.
