Which would take less force to move a heavy object or a light weight object?
When you include the effects of friction, it takes less force to move a light-weight object. If you can get the objects into a frictionless environment, then any force, no matter how small, can move any object, no matter how heavy.
Do you need more or less Force for a heavy object?
Yes
How is the motion of an object affected when a force act on it?
According to Newton, it accelerates (Force = mass x acceleration). But beware, the force is the net (total) force, not just what you apply. For example when you hold a heavy object you are supplying a considerable force. But gravity is pulling in the opposite direction so the total force is zero. Similarly, if you try to slide a heavy object along a road, if you cannot overcome the limiting frictional force, nothing will happen.
What would be easier to move a large empty box or a small heavy box?
an object's acceleration depends on the object's mass and the force applied to it. the lager the force applied to it.
Who'll travel faster heavy or light object?
The results will vary, depending on the specific situation.

What do you have to do get forces acting on an object to get you net force?
a girl and a boy are pulling heavy crate at the same time with 10 units of force each . what is the net force acting on ythe object?

What are the functions of a first class lever?
It makes it easier for the effort force [such as your hand] to lift the resistance force [such as a heavy object].

Why do you have to exert extra force to get a heavy object moving and then have to keep applying force to keep it moving at constant velocity?
the heavier and the bigger the object the more force you need to use to keep it moving . the less weight and the smaller an object is the less force you need to use to keep it moving. it always depends on the weight of the object and the size of the object.

Effect of gravity to falling objects?
The heavy and light objects travel at the same rate because there are two competing factors that cancel each other out. The force of gravity is greater on the heavier object than on the lighter object, proportional to the object's mass. This means that an object with twice the mass will be pulled toward the earth with twice the force. On the other hand, the acceleration is proportional to the force divided by the mass. This means that an object that is twice the mass of another object will be accelerated twice as slowly as the lighter object given the same force. So in order for an object with twice the mass to move at the same rate as the lighter object, the heavier object must be submitted to twice the force. And this is exactly what the force of gravity does. For more information on gravity and forces, you might try the Physics section
What would not help decrease the frictional force when moving a heavy object?
Going abroad without your passport
What if the boy and the girl pull the heavy crate at the same time in opposite directions with 10 units and 5 units of forces respectivelywhat will be the net force on the object?
what will be the net force on the object?will the object move?to what direction will it move?
