Does a more massive object weigh more than less massive one?

If the force is gravity, the answer is yes. Gravity "pulls" on an object in proportion to its mass. A heavier (more massive) object is pulled on by gravity more than a lighter (less massive) object. A football tackle is pulled on by gravity more than the average grade school student.


If two objects have different masses does the more massive object pull with a great force?

Yes, the more massive object will exert a greater force of gravity on another object compared to a less massive one, as gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects involved.


Does the force of gravity increase decrease or stay the same if the object it is acting on is more massive?

If the product of the two masses increases, then the gravitational force in both directions between them increases.


Which the more of this object has the more force it takes to move it?

The object with more mass will require more force to move because it has greater inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. Therefore, the more massive an object is, the more force is needed to change its state of motion.


Is you use the same force on a less massive object what happens to the acceleration?

If you apply the same force to a less massive object, it will experience a greater acceleration compared to a more massive object. This is because acceleration is inversely proportional to mass when force is constant (Newton's second law of motion, F=ma).


What affect does mass have on acceleration?

this equation might help force = mass * acceleration the more massive an object is the more force is required to accelerate it


What does it mean a less massive object will speed up more quickly than a more massive object subjected to the same force?

For example, if you push a canoe for 10 seconds with a certain force, and if you push an ocean liner for 10 seconds with the same force, the canoe will be moving faster, because it has less mass.


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

The more mass an object has, the more force it takes to move it. This is because more massive objects have greater inertia, making them resist changes in their state of motion.


When the mass of one object is considerably Less than the mass of another object is the action-reaction force not noticeable?

If the MASS of the 1st Object in a COLLISION is too small to generate a FORCE large enough to overcome the INERTIA of the 2nd Object, then the more massive Object will not move. This could make it look like the more massive object is not REACTING to the Collision.


How is motion of an object affected when force acts on it?

If a force is exerted on an object, it will accelerate in inverse proportion to its mass in the direction of the force. For example, if two objects of different mass are subjected to the same force, the less massive object will accelerate more.


Will an object go faster if you increase the mass?

No, increasing the mass of an object will not make it go faster. In fact, the more massive an object is, the more force is needed to accelerate it and the slower it will move.


If you use the same force on less massive object what happened to the acceleration?

Force equals mass times acceleration, so an alternative formula is acceleration equals force divided by mass. Therefore if the mass is decreased, the acceleration goes up. Thus a 100 HP engine on a motor cycle produces more acceleration than the same engine on a car.
