Why it is difficult to lift a large stone on the surface of the earth but easy to lift a smaller one?

- Large stone has more mass compare to a small one. And mass is directly proportional to weight where 'g' is constant for every object on earth. As a result larger stone has more weight than that of smaller. That's why it is difficult to lift larger stone on the surface of the earth but easier to lift a smaller one.

∙ 7y agoThe large stone has more mass than the smaller stone and thus experiences more force from gravity. That force, called weight, must be overcome in order to lift the stone.

To move a big stone is more difficult because it has greter mass and greater inertia

Which statement is true for cells represented by these models?
There is more total surface area on the eight smaller cells than there is on the one large cell.
What are the Deccan traps?
The Deccan Traps is a plateau in India. It formed from cracks or holes (called vents) in the crust of earth. So, the molten rocks called magma emerged out from the mantle on to the surface of earth through these vents. This magma then got cooled and solidified to form igneous rocks. Large volumes of magma spread over a large surface area of earth produced a high level land called plateau, extending over several hundred square kilometres.
Why can the Moon appear as large as the Sun even though you know the Moon is much smaller than the Sun?
The Moon is much closer to Earth than the Sun is, therefore making the moon appear to be as large or larger than the sun when viewed from Earth.
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the sun's rays strike the earths surface increases?
Each beam of sunlight has the same amount of energy (which is where we get our warmth). The energy of the sun is more spread accross the Earth's surface with increased angles (oblique). This is what happens at the poles where the sun light hits the Earth at 180 degrees. It is cold at the poles because the sun's energy is spread out over a large area. As the angle of the sun decreases the energy of the sun hits the earth directly and is concentrate. This is what happens when the sun hits the equator at 90 degrees and that is why it is warm at the equator.
How do glaciers affect earths surface?
When they slide or move across the land they pick up rocks and soil which changes the Ground beneath it.By glacial erosion which is when slowly over time large U shaped valleys are carved out; or by 'plucking' which is when rocks or boulders are literally plucked up from the surface and carried down the valley.Rocks frozen underneath glaciers carve the land when glaciers move
Why is difficult to determine earths structure?
Because Earth is very very large and we live just on the very surface.
Large bodies of ice that move across earth's surface?
Large bodies of ice that move across the Earth's surface are glaciers.
What are large landmasses on earth's surface?
Large landmasses on the earth's surface are the continents.These are (in no particular order):AfricaAsiaAustraliaEuropeNorth AmericaSouth AmericaAntarctica
Why the earth does not move when i jump on the surface of it?
the earth is too large to move
Which has the greater surface area one large cell or 27 smaller cells?
If the smaller cells' total volume is at least that of the larger cell then the smaller cells have the greater surface area.
How large are oceans?
The ocean is 71% of the Earth's Surface.
What is the answer of large land masses on the surface of the earth?
Seven
What is an advantage of a small cell over a large cell?
smaller surface area
Is distortion greater with a small scale map or a large scale map?
Map distortion is due to the fact that the earth's surface is curved but maps are flat. The more curved the surface that a map represents, the more distortion. For the same size map, one with a smaller scale encompasses a larger surface area of the earth when compared to one with a larger scale. Therefore, the one with a smaller scale will have more distortion.
How much of earth's surface is part of antarctica?
The continent of Antarctica covers about 10% of the earth's surface. It is about as large as USA and Mexico combined.
What the definition of hill?
its like a large bump in the earth surface!
