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.

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.


Do force exist to object at rest?

There CAN be, as long as the force is being counterd by an equal and opposite force.


The space surrounding a massive object subject to the body's force of attraction is?

The gravity from a massive body produces a force on other massive bodies inside its gravitational field.


What is the up force on a moving car?

Any object moving or stationary that is on the ground is subjected to a normal/reaction force upwards.


What kind of force do you need to stop a more massive object?

inertia


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.


A very massive object A and a less massive object B move toward each other under the influence of gravitation Which force if either is greater?

If gravity is moving the objects toward each other, a massive body (i.e. the earth) will be in the way. If the objects are at the same ditance from this body, a greater force is exerted on object A.


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.


Why does a falling object subjected to earths gravity does not continue to accelerate forever?

what your talking about is terminal velocity, which is when the downward force of gravity (Fg)equals the upward force of drag (Fd). This causes the net force on the object to be zero, resulting in an acceleration of zero


What is true of an object with a lot of mass?

Such an object makes a larger dent in the fabric of space-time than an object with little mass. (It has a greater gravitational attraction than less massive objects)A greater force is required to accelerate such an object than a less massive object


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 two factors make gravity wearker or stronger?

Two factors that make gravity weaker or stronger are mass and distance. A more massive object has a greater force of gravity than a less massive object, and the closer two objects are increases the gravitational force between them.
