A heavier object has more mass than the lighter object.
The acceleration of any object is (force on the object) divided by (the object's mass).
A = F/MAs this simple fraction shows, if equal forces were applied to many differentobjects, you'd immediately see that the smaller an object's mass is, the more
acceleration results.
Speed and weight are related in that a heavier object requires more force to accelerate or decelerate, thus affecting its speed. In general, heavier objects tend to have lower speeds due to the increased force required to move them compared to lighter objects.
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.
To make the lighter ball harder to stop than the heavier ball, you can increase the lighter ball's velocity or decrease the heavier ball's velocity. This strategy exploits the kinetic energy of the moving objects, as the faster-moving lighter ball will have more kinetic energy that needs to be dissipated upon impact, making it harder to stop. Additionally, you can manipulate the surface material or shape of the balls to affect their friction and bounce properties, impacting how quickly they come to a stop.
Mass affects the motion of an object by influencing its inertia. Objects with more mass have greater inertia, making it harder to change their motion. Heavier objects may require more force to accelerate, decelerate, or change direction compared to lighter objects.
The difficulty to accelerate an object is related to its mass, not to its weight. However, on Earth (i.e., more or less constant gravity), mass and weight are also proportional. As to "why", I believe that is still an area of active research. We know that there is a property called mass, that causes gravitation, and inertia (i.e., a resistance to acceleration), but the exact nature of this property is still being studied.

It certainly does. That's why you have to push it harder to accelerate it horizontally. But that "more weight" that it has is exactly the more force it needs for vertical acceleration, and that's why all objects fall with the same acceleration.
The mass of a balloon car affects the distance it can travel and the speed it can achieve. A heavier balloon car will typically have more inertia, making it harder to accelerate and affecting the distance it can travel. Conversely, a lighter balloon car will accelerate more easily and cover a greater distance due to less inertia.
Yes, the weight. The lighter the tennis racket, the lighter you hit the ball. The heavier racket can hit harder shots.
Yes, weight does affect drag. Heavier objects experience more drag than lighter objects because they displace more air as they move through it, creating more resistance. Increasing weight can increase drag, making it harder to move through a fluid like air or water.
