A pencil has more mass than a paperclip because it contains more material, such as the wood casing and graphite core, compared to the thin wire of a paperclip. The density of the materials used in a pencil is also higher than that of a paperclip, contributing to the difference in mass between the two objects.

Why is it harder to throw a brick up than a pencil?

Throwing a brick is harder than throwing a pencil primarily due to the difference in their weights and shapes. A brick is significantly heavier and has a larger mass, requiring more force to overcome gravity and achieve the same height as a lighter, more aerodynamic pencil. Additionally, the brick's bulkier shape creates more air resistance, making it less efficient to throw than the streamlined pencil.
