If object "A" is heavier than object "B", then object "A" also has more mass (weight = mass x gravity, and gravity can be assumed to be constant for most practical purposes). And more mass causes more inertia - inertia is the direct result of the amount of mass.

force = mass x acceleration; the heavier the object the more force to stop it as it decelerates

Why is it harder to stop a four person bobsled than a three person bobsled?

The four bobsled is heavier and has a greater mass. There will be more momentum, leading to greater velocity making it harder to stop.

Why do heavier objects fall faster then lighter objects?

Heavier objects have more gravitational pull on them


Which of these two objects at same speed is harder to stop a ping pong ball or a volleyball?

When they are both moving, the ping pong ball is harder to stop. Beingso much smaller than the volleyball, it is much harder to catch.


Can different magnets attract heavier objects?

Bigger magnets are used for heavier objects.


Can a car stop faster then a motorcycle?

Assuming the car and the bike are both traveling at the same speed and both have new brakes. The bike will stop faster than the car due to less momentum. Car is heavier, harder to get going fast, harder to stop fast.


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

The train is heavier than the car is and the train has more things in the back. The train is heavier than the car is and the train has more things in the back.


Why is it harder to pulla wagon with a dog in it?

A dog weighs on average about 30 pounds. Add that to the rest of things in the wagon and it's heavier. Heavier the wagon= harder to pull


Are objects heavier on Venus' or Mars?

They are heavier on Venus due to it's larger mass.


Why is A heavier objects harder to accelerate than a lighter object?

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.


Why do lighter objects fly slower than heavier objects?

they have less mass. heavier objects have a great mass so it gets pulled down faster..... by a little thing called......gravity!
