It is easier to push a moving object than an object of the same mass because the weight on the moving object is less and out more.... I know this doesn't quite make sense but email me at oliviabastianich@Gmail.com for a better explenation... i will help in the next 12 hours!

Is it easier to find the mass of an object with a large mass or smaller mass?
Large mass
How do you change an object's mass on earth to its mass on the moon?
The object's mass is the same wherever it is. Mass doesn't change. What changes is the object's weight.The weight depends on what other mass happens to be nearby.When you know the object's weight on earth, multiply that by 0.1633 to find its weight on the moon.If you don't need it that close, it might be easier to just divide the earth weight by 6.
Can a stationary object have a mass 12 kilograms and weight of 12 newtons?
If it is placed at a point where the force of gravity is such that it would accelerate the body at 1 ms-2.
What is the meaning of e equals mc squared?
E=mc2 ; E=energy m=mass c=speed of light. It simply means that energy and mass are different manifestion of the same thing. Energy can the converted into mass and vice versa. For example, a stationary proton and a moving one don't have the same mass, because the moving proton has Kinetic Energy which is equivalent to a small quantity of mass.
If two spaceships have equal masses and one is stationary and one is moving What is their combined speed if they collide and stick together?
The new speed for the combined masses will be one-half the original velocity of the moving spaceship, since the momentum is applied to a mass twice as large.
Is an object in travel more dense than when stationary?
Gee whiz, I guess it would be. I never thought of that. When an object is moving, its length in the direction of motion decreases ... which decreases its volume ... and its mass increases. So its relativistic mass/relativistic volume is greater than its rest-mass/rest-volume .
How do I calculate the velocity of an object which hits a stationary object if I know the mass of both objects and the distance the stationary object was moved what else must I know to calculate?
You need to know the coefficient of static friction and the coefficient of moving friction for both objects. The solution involves solving a differential equation so the math is non-trivial.
What is the property of moving object that depends upon the object's mass and moving velocity?
Momentum
Does a moving object's distance depend on the object's mass and velocity?
The distance doesn't depend on the mass.
Is it easier to find the mass of an object with a large mass or smaller mass?
Large mass
The less mass a moving object has the?
its faster
How does force affect stationary object of different masses?
Force accelerates stationary masses as acceleration a=f/m; theacceleration is inverse to the mass. The smaller the mass the larger the acceleration and the larger the mass the smaller the acceleration.
How much momentum does an object have that is not moving?
If an object is at rest, it has no momentum because the formula for momentum is p = mv, where p= momentum, m = mass and v = velocity. If the object is at rest, then the velocity is zero, so p = m*0. therefore p = 0.
What factors are involved in the momentum of moving object?
The object's mass and speed.
How do you reduce the impact force when hits another object?
If before .........increase the friction of surface If after............increase the mass of stationary object
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.
What does the mass of an object tell you about its inertia?
An object with a large mass is harder to get moving and harder to stop than an object with less mass. I hope this helps
