Two ways to think about this:
From Newton's Second Law: F=ma, a=F/m. Since the mass is in the denominator, a large mass means a small acceleration. In other words, for a given force, it will take a long time to change its velocity. (There will also be a lot of friction, so some items can't be moved at all.)
From kinetic energy calculations: KE = (1/2)mv2, so more mass means more kinetic energy for a given speed. It takes a lot of energy to make something big move.
In any case, it is not the SIZE of the object that matters, but rather its MASS.
What else can I help you with?
Do objects that move in space ever slow down?
Yes, objects in space can slow down due to various factors such as gravitational forces, collisions with other objects, or interactions with the surrounding environment like interstellar gas and dust. However, in the vacuum of space, without external influences, an object would continue moving at a constant speed due to inertia.
What everyday objects use friction?
Everyday objects that use friction include: tires on cars, shoes on the ground, zippers, and brakes on bicycles. Friction is necessary for these objects to grip, slow down, or move properly.
How do object move different surfaces?
Objects move on different surfaces by friction.
What are the slowest moving objects?
Some of the slowest moving objects are glaciers, which can move as slow as a few centimeters per day. Another example is the movement of tectonic plates, which move at a rate of a few centimeters per year. Additionally, some plants like the Socratea exorrhiza palm tree can grow as slow as a few millimeters per year.
What is a common unbalanced force acting on objects in motion?
Friction
How does the friction affect the way objects move?
Friction will slow down the moving object
What are large objects that move around a star?
Planets, moons, asteroids, and comets are some examples of large objects that move around a star, such as the Sun in our solar system. These objects orbit the star due to gravitational forces and can vary in size and composition.

What do you do with a inclined plane?
it makes it easier to move objects (usually heavy, large, hard to move, etc) to an area with a higher elevation
How do object move different surfaces?
Objects move on different surfaces by friction.
What large mass of frozen water can move rocks and boulders moves slow and changes the earth?
It is a diamond
Do glaciers move slow or slow?
they move a inch a month
How slow do two oceanic plates move?
they move slow
What objects snap to when you move them?
What do objects snap to when you move them
The mass of most objects around you does not cause a force large enough to move objects toward each other because?
the mass of the object is too small
