Which law says that heavier objects require more force than lighter objects to move or accelerate them?

Newton's second law. The formula F = ma establishes that as m is more, the force needed to produce the same acceleration will also be higher. Heavy means more weight. More weight due to more mass.


The tendency for object to changes in their motion is called inertia?

How does mass affect velocity on cars?

The larger the mass a car effects the velocity in that you require a stronger engine to make it accelerate at the same speed of a lighter car. Having a higher mass, it will take longer for it accelerate as well as for it to decelerate. Two cars that collide that have the same velocity and masses will stop, while if ones mass his higher it will cause greater damage to the smaller one.


Do heavier vehicles require a longer or shorter stopping distance?

longer


If a body were accelerating at a rate making its mass equal to its normal mass on earth how long would it need to travel before reaching light speed?

It would take infinitely long in both time and space, and require and infinite amount of energy to accelerate any object with mass to the speed of light. In other words, it is impossible to reach the speed of light. Einstein's equations show that as an object approaches the speed of light, it's kinetic energy is converted to mass making it heavier and heavier, require more force and energy to accelerate it. As a result at 99.999999% the speed of light the object would be come so massive that it would require more energy than the universe contains to push it fast enough to be going the speed of light.

What does the phrase heavier than air vehicle mean?

There are two types of air-craft: Heavier-than-air and lighter-than-air. Lighter-than-air craft are things like zepplins and balloons that, due to the gas inside actually weigh less than air, and so float upwards. Heavier-than-air craft are basically everything else. Airplanes and the like are not able to float on air and require some sort of thrust and lift system to get them airborn.


Why do rivers deposit heavier sediments first?

Because it requires more energy to transport heavier sediment than lighter sediment. As a river flows it loses energy, and hence begins to drop the heavier sediment. Imagine you had a handful of sand and a handfull of flower. The sand is heavier than the flower, and also larger. If you blow on both of your hands, the flower will be easily blown away, but the sand will be more difficult, because the grains are bigger and heavier, and require more energy to move.The heavier sediments are the first to overcome the power of the moving water with the power of gravity.

Why boiling point of zero group increases down the group?

As you go down any group in the periodic table of elements, you are moving in the direction of heavier elements. And heavier elements within a group are going to boil at higher temperatures than lighter elements, because heavier atoms have more inertia, and require more energy in order to give them the amount of random thermal motion needed to form the gas phase.

Why does it require much less force to accelerate a low mass object than it does to accelerate a high mass object the same amount?

a sponge will have more matter packed in the same space


Why you cannot accelerate electrons greater than the velocity of light in free space?

Nothing can be made to move faster than the speed of light in a vacuum; for objects that move slower than light, even reaching the speed of light would require an infinite energy.
