More force for what?
According to Newton's Second Law, F=ma (force = mass x acceleration), it requires more force to accelerate a more massive object.
On the other hand, do some reading, in basic physics books, about friction - even to maintain a constant speed, the force required to overcome friction is also proportional to an object's weight. The force of friction is equal to the "normal" force - the force perpendicular to the surface of contact, multiplied by a coefficient of friction. The coefficient of friction is typically somewhere between 0.2 and 1.0, depending on the types of surfaces.
No, the force of gravity increases as the mass of the object increases. force of gravity is a constant 9.8 meters/second^2 Terminal velocity will cause heavier objects to fall faster than lighter objects depending on their relative effective densities and shapes.
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 ?
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.
The answer depends on the force applied to the bodies.
They are not really lighter, they only seem lighter. Objects weigh the same in water as in air, but in the water, there is an additional force, of the water pushing the object up.

the heavier object
No, the force of gravity increases as the mass of the object increases. force of gravity is a constant 9.8 meters/second^2 Terminal velocity will cause heavier objects to fall faster than lighter objects depending on their relative effective densities and shapes.

F= ma Heavier objects require larger forces to move them ! Likewise, Lighter object require small forces
it is lighter or heavier

When two objects collide, they bounce back. This is because if the two objects' momentum is the same, they would hit each other at the same force, but one object is probably heavier than the other, so the lighter object would fly back, while the heavier object's momentum would decrease. So both objects would bounce back no matter what.
