Why is it harder to stop a heavy football player than a lighter football player?

A heavy football player is harder to stop because it has a greater momentum. In physics, momentum is equal to the mass of an object times its velocity. If a 50 kilogram kid and a 70 kilogram man were running at the same speed, the man would be harder to stop because he would have a greater momentum.


How does mas affect the inertia of an object?

if there is large mass its harder to get moving and harder to stop than an object that has less mass.


What does the mass of an object tell you about its inertia?

An object with a large mass is harder to get moving and harder to stop than an object with less mass. I hope this helps


What stops first a heavy object or a light one?

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


What is the difference between friction and weight?

Friction is a force that stops almost every object so if there is more weight it is harder for the friction to stop the given object


Which of these two object is harder to stop moving at the same speed a pingpong ball or a baseball?

More force is required to stop a baseball's motion.


Why is it harder to stop a 4 person bobsled?

The more weight the harder to stop.


Why is harder to stop a train than a car even when the car is moving faster?

because the train have a power heavy than car fast thats it


Why is it hard to stop an object that is moving very fast?

The bigger momentum an object has, the harder it is to stop it. Momentum is defined as velocity times mass. An object with really big mass which moves really slowly (like a car moving slowly) is also hard to stop.


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 volume weight and density?

volume is how much space is in an object (an object with more volume would be bigger) weight is how heavy an object feels due to gravity (an object with more weight would be harder to lift) density is how much matter is in an amount of space (an object with more density would weigh as much as an object with less density but in a smaller space/volume)


When you increase your velocity on a skateboard it is harder to stop. This is an example of?

When you increase your velocity on a skateboard it is harder to stop because of momentum.
