heaver people would go faster simply because a heaver person could push their weight forward more creating greater acelaration.

Why does a heavier person slide down a hill faster than a lighter person when on a snow tube?
because the heavier person has more initeria and therefore the forces that would slow the slider down i.e friction, wind resistance, whatever, have less effect on a heavier person that a lighter person
Does a heavier person ride a skateboard faster than a lighter person?
The short answer is YES! Bigger wheels mean that if the bearing are spinning the same speed, the outside of the wheel is spinning faster than a small wheel.
how to test if parachutes fall faster or slower when the person is heavier?
.
How do you make a pocket bike faster with no performance parts?
if you want it to go faster with no performance parts you will need a lighter person
Will a heavier person sink faster in quicksand?
actually no because the weight keeps it up so no
If you sit nearer the middle of a seesaw will you seem to be heavier or lighter?
the heaviest person would have to sit nearer the middle
The heavier a person is the more calories they will burn per minute is that true?
Yes, it is true. Gravity plays a part in this. You see, it takes a heavier person more effort to burn calories than a lighter person because, because of their larger weight, they are being pulled down more, meaning they fight against gravity, more than the lighter person would. For example if a light and heavy person began and ran up stairs at the same time, it would be harder for the heavier person because more gravity is acting upon them. Hehehe, if the heavy and light person fell down, it would hurt more for the heavier person.
If you weigh less do you burn more calories when running?
theoretically a heavier person will burn more calories running the same distance than a lighter person. There is more muscle and more mass to be moved on a heavier person therefore more energy is needed.
How is the pulse rate affected by the flow of blood?
The faster and heavier that the flow of blood is, the higher pulse rate a person will have because the heart is pumping faster.
Why does a heavier person go down the slide faster?
because a heavier person has more inertia, and therefore the forces that work to slow the person down, i.e. friction, wind resistance, whatever, will have less effect on an object with more inertia than less inertia
Do two people on a sledge go faster than one?
yes, the more weight added on to it will make it faster but one person or the lighter weight will get a head start.
Why Is it harder to stop a heavy football player rushing the ball than it is to stop a lighter one?
Because the heavier football player has a much higher momentum which is product of mass and velocity. To cancel the momentum of a heavier football player one must achieve the same momentum at impact. A lighter player can only do that by increasing his velocity.Momentum = mass x velocityIf a football player weighed 100 Kg and was traveling at 5 m/s (11 miles per hour). A 50 Kg person would have to impact the heavier football player at a speed of 10 m/s (22 miles per hour) to cancel the inertia of the heavier football player.As the heavier football player goes faster it becomes increasingly difficult to stop them. You can also take several lighter players by combining their mass to stop the forward momentum of the heavier football player.
