Because, the object with the small mass moves faster so it would be harder to control. But for the object with the large mass, it is heavier so it moves slower so it is easier to control or change the motion of it. (STACHE <3)

To move an object that is heavier, you need unbalanced forces. This means that you need to push or pull an object more in order to make unbalanced forces with friction.

F=ma force = mass x acceleration

M=f/a mass = force / acceleration

If two objects were both on the same planet then the one with less mass would be easier to move. This assumes all other variables are held constant (friction, relative volume and shape).

An object with more mass has more inertia because inertia is dependant upon mass. The more mass there is, the more inertia because ofthe amount of matter!

What does greater mass result in?

Greater mass results in greater gravitational force. This means that the larger an object is, it requires more effort for movement.


How does the mass of an object relate to the gavitational force that the object exerts on other objectx?

More mass will cause more gravitational force.


Why is the acceleration due to gravity the same for a brick and a sponge?

Because the acceleration depends on the gravitational force on the object. But the gravitational force on the object depends on its mass ... More mass = more force. Objects with less mass have less force on them, and objects with more mass have more force on them, and the force on each object is exactly enough so that each object winds up falling with the same acceleration.


If a constant force acts on two object's of different masses which object will accelerate more?

Force = mass times acceleration, so the smaller mass will accelerate more.


How is the gravitational force between object affected by mass?

More mass will cause more gravitational force.


Why do two objects with different mass will fall at the same time?

-- It takes more force to accelerate an object with more mass. ... Gravity exerts more force on an object with more mass. -- It takes less force to accelerate an object with less mass. ... Gravity exerts less force on an object with less mass. Whatever the mass of the object happens to be, gravity always exerts just the right amount of force to accelerate it at always the same rate ... 9.8 meters per second2.


The size of the force of gravity depends on what?

The mass of each object (more mass=stronger gravitational force) and the distance between the objects (the closer they are the stronger the force.


What is the more of this an object has the more force it takes to move it?

mass


The force required to slide an object is equal to?

The force required to accelerate an object depends on the object's mass. Newton's second law states that Force = Mass * Acceleration. Re-written to solve for acceleration, this becomes Acceleration = Force/Mass. Basically, this means that the more mass an object has, the more force is required to accelerate it. Also, the faster you want to accelerate the object, the more force you will need.


How does mass affect the force of objects?

Isaac Newton's second law of motion states that force=mass x accelaration So the bigger the mass of the object the more force is needed to propel the object forward. This equation can also be shown as, f=ma


Does the mass increase when the an object moves against the force of gravity?

No, mass is a constant. Gravity affects weight. The amount of gravity changes how much force is exerted on a specific mass. Fighting gravity just requires more force in the opposing direction, but mass will neither increase nor decrease.


Does weight have an impact on force?

Yes, weight, or more precisely mass*, does have an impact on force. The impact is something like this: an object moving at a constant speed will have more force than an object traveling at the same speed with less mass.So, more mass equals proportionately more force.*Mass is a direct measurement of the amount of stuff in an object. Weight is the measurement of the apparent force of gravity on an object.
