∙ 9y agoIt takes more force to move a heavy box because the heavier box has more mass, which means it has more inertia. Inertia is the resistance of an object to changes in its motion, so it requires a greater force to overcome this resistance and move the heavy box compared to the light box.
When you include the effects of friction, it takes less force to move a light-weight object. If you can get the objects into a frictionless environment, then any force, no matter how small, can move any object, no matter how heavy.
It takes more force to move a heavy box because it has more inertia, meaning it resists changes in its state of motion. The heavier box requires more force to overcome this inertia and set it in motion compared to a lighter box.
Yes
The force of friction is typically greater on a heavy object because there is more weight pressing down on the surface, increasing the normal force and thus the force of friction. This means that heavier objects are generally harder to move across a surface than lighter objects.
In general, both heavy and light objects will accelerate at the same rate when moving down an incline due to gravity. However, the heavy object will have more inertia, so it may require more force to move initially but will have a stronger pull down the incline once moving.

You generally need more force to move a heavier object due to its greater mass. More force is required to overcome the object's inertia and accelerate it.
The force exerted by someone pushing something heavy depends on the weight of the object and the acceleration required to move it. The force can be calculated using the formula: Force = mass x acceleration. The heavier the object, the greater the force required to move it.
Same as light.
Moving heavy objects fast requires greater force, which can be difficult to generate quickly. Additionally, overcoming inertia and friction for heavy objects takes more effort and energy. Inadequate grip, balance, or coordination can also make it challenging to move heavy objects quickly without risking injury.
The heavy the crayon, it will roll down but it needs force to move it back up
It would be easier to move a small heavy box because the size of the box does not affect its weight, which is the primary factor in determining how difficult it will be to move.
