Question

practice it!
which of the following describes the amount of force needed to move an object with a lot of mass?
an objects mass does not affect the amount of force required for movement.
an object with more mass requires less force to move than an object with less mass.
an object with more mass requires the same amount of force to move than an object with less mass.
an object with more mass requires more force to move than an object with less mass.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, \(F = ma\) (where \(F\) is force, \(m\) is mass, and \(a\) is acceleration). If we assume the acceleration \(a\) is constant (for the purpose of comparing the force needed to move objects of different masses), when \(m\) (mass) increases, \(F\) (force) must also increase. So, an object with more mass requires more force to move than an object with less mass.

Answer:

An object with more mass requires more force to move than an object with less mass.
