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.


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.


Which would take less force to move a heavy object or a light weight object?

When you include the effects of friction, it takes less force to move a light-weight object. If you can get the objects into a frictionless environment, then any force, no matter how small, can move any object, no matter how heavy.


What makes an object move?

The force of gravity acts on an object if it's on a hill. if it is not then it takes another force, such as a push or pull, to move the object.


Why different amount of force are needed to move objects?

The different amount of force is needed because some objects have more mass and weight than others for example if you have a ball of Styrofoam and a baseball the baseball has a higher density and mass so it takes more force to move the baseball than the Styrofoam.

The more of what object has the more force it takes to move it?

You increase the object's acceleration.


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

Mass or inertia.

How does mass affect distance when the force applied is the same?

well think of it like having a small object with little mass then a large object with a lot of mass. Hitting the big object takes more force to make it move and the little object does not take nearly as much force to make it move. i hope this helped!

How do you change the distance of the work?

By applying less force. The more force you apply the less distance there is, but the less force you apply the more distance there is. This is why on a ramp it takes less force to push something up a ramp than to lift it, but at the same time it takes a longer distance to move the object in question. On the other hand, simply lifting the object will require more force but less distance.


Why different amount of force are needed to move objects?

The different amount of force is needed because some objects have more mass and weight than others for example if you have a ball of Styrofoam and a baseball the baseball has a higher density and mass so it takes more force to move the baseball than the Styrofoam.


Do you need more or less Force for a heavy object?

You generally need more force to move a heavier object due to its greater mass. More force is required to overcome the object's inertia and accelerate it.


What best describes how the mass of an object affects the amount of force needed to move the object?

The different amount of force is needed because some objects have more mass and weight than others for example if you have a ball of Styrofoam and a baseball the baseball has a higher density and mass so it takes more force to move the baseball than the Styrofoam.


In what direction does an applied force move an object?

An applied force will move an object in the direction of the force.
