Why is more force needed to change the motion of a heavy and fast moving object compared to a light weight and slow moving obect?

More force is needed to change the motion of a heavy and fast-moving object because of its momentum, which is the product of its mass and velocity. The momentum of an object indicates the amount of force required to change its motion, so heavier objects with higher velocities require more force to change their direction or speed compared to lighter objects moving at slower speeds.


How does the force required to move an object change depending on the objects mass?

It takes no force to 'move' an object. There are trillions of objects that are moving right now with no forces acting on them. It only takes force to 'accelerate' an object ... to change its motion, by changing its speed or the direction of its motion. force=mass*acceleration As mass increases, so does the force needed to change the object's motion.


What is needed to change an object's state of motion?

With changing the "state of motion", I assume you want to change the velocity. What you need here is a force, applied on the object. The amount of acceleration is given by Newton's Second Law.


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.


That which causes an object to have inertia?

Mass content of a body is responsible for providing inertia to a body. When you try to move a heavy body, you apply more force to it, i.e it doesn't intend to change its state of motion, here at rest easily.. so more resistance to change the state more is the inertia. In other sense it can also be seen as tendency to resist change in momentum of a body.

A force is needed to change the motion of an object?

Yes, an unbalanced force is needed to change the motion of an object.If an unbalanced force does not act on an object it will continue to maintain its state of motion (either in motion or at rest), not considering the effect of frictional force. This is basically Newtons first law of motion.
