Newton's second law of motion
Force causes a mass to accellerate
Replace the word "causes" with an equal sign and you will have Newton's Second Law of Motion.
Force = Mass * Acceleration
The answer depends on the type of motion.
If you push an object on a surface with friction, I think the answer is yes, but let's work a problem and see.
Friction force = coefficeint of friction * mass * gravity
Friction force always decreases the velocity of an object, so it is usually negative.
I will give you an example:
A 2 kg object is sliding on a frictionless board at a speed of 25 m/s. It moves onto a board with a coefficient of friction of 0.5 between the object and the board.
How far does it move until it stops?
Friction force = coefficeint of friction * mass * gravity
Friction force = -0.5 * 2 kg * 9.8 m/s^2
Friction force = -9.8 N
Force = Mass * Acceleration
-9.8 N = 2 Kg * a
a = -4.9 m/s^2
This means the object will slow down at the rate of 4.9 m/s each second.
Using
Eq.#1 Vfinal = Vinitial + (acceleration * time)
Vfinal = 25m/s - 4.9 m/s each second * time
time = 5.1 seconds
Eq.#2 Average Velocity = (Vi + Vf) ÷ 2
Average Velocity = (25m/s + 0 m/s) ÷ 2
Average Velocity =12.5 m/s
Eq.#3 Distance = Average Velocity * time
Distance =12.5 m/s * 5.1 seconds
Distance = 63.75 m
Now notice what happens when the mass is 4 Kg
Friction force = -0.5 * 4kg * 9.8 m/s^2
Friction force = -19.6 N
Force = Mass * Acceleration
-19.6 N = 4Kg * a
a = -4.9 m/s^2
uh-oh. -4.9 m/s^2 is the same acceleration as when the mass was 2 kg, and the mass does not appear in the rest of the equations. I am sure glad I worked this problem. The answer to your question is No
For falling objects, I know the answer is No. Do you trust me?
I will give you an example:
A 2 kg object and a 4 kg object are dropped from a height of 10 m. They will both drop to the ground, which is 10 m down. However, a more interesting fact is they both will hit the ground at the same time!
When dropping objects the object's weightis theforce pulling it down.
Weight = Mass * gravity
Weight = 2 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 =19.6 N
Force = Mass * Acceleration
19.6 N= 2* Acceleration Acceleration = 19.6 N÷ 2 Acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
Weight = Mass * gravity
Weight = 4 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 39.2 N
Force = Mass * Acceleration
39.2 N= 2 * Acceleration Acceleration = 39.2 N ÷ 2 Acceleration = 9.8m/s^2
Everything accelerates at the same rate as it falls to the ground, neglecting air resistance which depends on the shape of the objects.
Of course. if you get to travel to the moon, things are different, right? Find out what the value of gravity is on the moon and try this last
An object with greater mass than that of another is able to acquire a greater amount of momentum than that of an object with less mass, this in turn may lead to an increase in speed, so in short : yes
no it doesnt. Im not sure what does but mass only measures the weight of matter.
In zero gravity, the mass of an object does not effect the distance an object travels at all unless there is a constent force acting upon it. However, if it is in contact with another object, and gravity is what keeps the 2 or more objects touching each other, then mass will effect the distance it travels because of friction.
The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.The mass of the first object; the mass of the second object; the distance between them.
-- The mass of one object. -- The mass of the other object. -- The distance between their centers of mass.
well yes it does the heavier the object being launched it wont go as far as the lighter one
An object's speed is (distance it travels) divided by (time to cover the distance). The object's mass doesn't matter at all.

The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.
The distance doesn't depend on the mass.

Before you test it, you could state the hypothesis in two different ways You could say: "The mass of a falling object has no effect on the time it takes to fall some distance." Or you could say: "The time a falling object takes to fall some distance depends on its mass." You could use the same tests to investigate EITHER hypothesis. --------------------------- The mass of a falling object has no effect on the time it takes to fall some distance assuming zero air resistance.
An object's speed is (distance it travels) divided by (time to cover the distance). The object's mass doesn't matter at all.
it will cut through the air more quickly and yet go farther
ask a teacher
The mass of an object in a gravitational field is called the object's "mass".The presence or absence of a gravitational field has no effect on the mass.
The mass and distance of an object fom another object
