All other factors being Equal, Yes. This is even true in Space where the objects 'may' be unaffected by Gravity and WEIGH Zero. The critical factor here is MASS, which we commonly call WEIGHT on the Earth.

The MASS of an Object does not change based on its POSITION. The WEIGHT of an object varies based on its Position relative to a Gravitational body, such as the Earth.

Why are heavier objects harder to start or stop moving?

Heavier objects have more inertia, which means they resist changes in their motion. More force is needed to start or stop the motion of a heavier object compared to a lighter one.


What law says that heavier objects require more than lighter objects to move or accelerate them?

Newton's second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass. This means that heavier objects require more force to move or accelerate them compared to lighter objects.


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.


Is it easier for a tornado to lift heavier objects or lighter objects?

Tornadoes are more likely to lift lighter objects as they generate an upward force with their strong winds. Heavier objects may be more difficult for tornadoes to lift unless they are caught in the vortex of the tornado's winds.


Does a heavier object have more inertia than a lighter object?

Yes, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. Heavier objects have more inertia than lighter objects because they require more force to accelerate or decelerate.

Yes, inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. Heavier objects have more inertia than lighter objects because they require more force to accelerate or decelerate.


Which body moves faster heavier or lighter?

In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their weight due to gravity. However, in real-world conditions with air resistance, lighter objects tend to fall slower than heavier objects because air resistance affects lighter objects more.


How are speed and weight related?

Speed and weight are related in that a heavier object requires more force to accelerate or decelerate, thus affecting its speed. In general, heavier objects tend to have lower speeds due to the increased force required to move them compared to lighter objects.


Do lighter things have more mass than heavy things?

No, heavier objects have more mass than lighter objects. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, not its weight. The weight of an object is the force exerted on it due to gravity, which can vary depending on the gravitational pull.


Why does it take heavier objects longer to stop?

More mass means more inertia - more difficult to change the velocity. Newton's Second Law: force = mass x acceleration, means that for more mass, you need more force to get the same acceleration. Alternatively (if you save for acceleration), if you increase the mass, the same force will produce less acceleration. Note: It is the MASS of the object, not its WEIGHT, that is relevant here. On Earth, though, weight is proportional to the mass.


Why do heavier items fall faster than lighter ones?

In a vacuum, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of weight due to gravity. However, in the presence of air resistance, heavier objects overcome this resistance more easily and reach the ground faster. This is because heavier objects have more momentum and force to push through the air.


Do heavier objects have a higher density than lighter objects?

Not necessarily. Density is determined by the mass of an object compared to its volume. Heavier objects may have a higher density if they are more compacted, but lighter objects can also have a high density if they are very compacted or have a smaller volume.
