Why is it easier to change the motion of an object with a small mass than it is to change the motion of an object with a large mass?
F=mxa, m = can be small or large, a = change the motion (acceleration), F = the cause of the change the motion
F1 changes the motion of m1 at a
F2 changes the motion of m2 at a (same force, same size mass)
(F1+F2) changes the motion of (m1 +m2) at a
So it takes twice the force (F1+F2) to move twice the mass (m1 + m2) at the same change in motion (acceleration). If (F1 + F2) were to move smaller mass (m1) the acceleration would be larger. The "why" is hidden in the formula.

Why is it easer to change the motion of n objectwith a large mass than an object with a smaller mass?
It is easier to change the motion of an object with a smaller mass because it has less inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. Objects with larger mass have more inertia and resist changes in motion more strongly. This means it takes more force to change the motion of an object with a larger mass compared to one with a smaller mass.
What is forces and motion?
Movement or displacementForce and motion is described as everyday things that are happening all the time. More then how many you're thinking of. Did you know that you use force and motion to?by Lizzy Suaalii
What term used to describe a body's resistance to a change in motion?
Inertia. The larger the mass of the body the larger its inertia, in other words a heavy object would require a large driving force to make it initially move and a large force as well to make it stop moving or change direction.
What is the relationship between velocity and inertia?
Newtons First Law of Motion states that an object with a given momentum will continue to posses that same momentum until the object is acted on by a force in which case it will undergo a change in momentum. Inertia is a measure of an objects tendency to resist a change in momentum. Massive bodies have a large inertia. If a massive body is in motion its momentum is given by the product of the mass and the velocity of that body. Newtons first law says that if a force acts on this body its momentum will change. But since the body has a large inertia this change is small. For example, if a small space pebble collides with a large asteroid that has a constant velocity and thus constant momentum, the force is small relative to the inertia of the asteroid so the momentum only changes a little bit.
An object with a large surface area has what air resistance?
An object with a large surface area experiences greater air resistance because there is more surface for the air to push against as the object moves. This can slow down the object's motion more significantly compared to an object with a smaller surface area.
Why is it easier to change the motion of an object with large mass than an object with a small mass?
Because it is lighter.
Why is it easier too change the motion of an object with a large mass than an object with a small mass?
It is not! According to Newton's law the exact opposite is true.

Why is it easier to change the motion of an object with a small mass than it is to change the motion of a object with a large mass?
Your question rests on a rubber word ... one that means different things to different peopleat the same time, and may even mean different things to the same person at different times.When you say "easier", do you mean perhaps that it requires less force ?If so, then the question is an 'easy' one to answer.It takes less force to change the motion of an object with a small mass than it takes to changethe motion of a object with a large mass because any change in an object's motion is called'acceleration', and Newton's second law of motion tells us simply that the force required toproduce an object's acceleration is proportional to its mass.
Why is it easierto change the motion of an object with a large ass then an object with a smaller mass?
According to Newton's laws of motion, it is not.

Is it easier to find the mass of an object with a large mass or smaller mass?
Large mass
What term used to describe a body's resistance to a change in motion?
Inertia. The larger the mass of the body the larger its inertia, in other words a heavy object would require a large driving force to make it initially move and a large force as well to make it stop moving or change direction.
What is easier to grasp a large object or a small object?
It generally depends on the size of the person's hand and the weight of the object. Larger objects may be easier to grasp with both hands, whereas smaller objects may be easier to manipulate with fingers.
Can a force be applied to an object with no apparent change in motion?
Yes. If the force applied is smaller than the force of friction for a stationary object or much smaller than the mass x acceleration of a moving object. You can push a freezer without it moving due to the large frictional force of the heavy object and what it is resting on. If you keep applying a force or you are quite strong you could eventually get it to move. Similarly, a truck will have no apparent change in motion if it hits a bicycle.
Why cant orbits change spontaneously?
For a change in orbit, a planet would have to experience an external force large enough. This would have to be a large collision with a rogue planet sized object or something like that - a highly unlikely event.
