There is no single answer, unless you are working with givens that you haven't shared in the question. One person could move such a mass under a few situations. If the mass is in the shape of a wheel with a smoothe surface and it is placed in a curved seating and lubricated with oil at high pressure, a person could turn it in place. If the weight is on a flat surface on a cart with perfect wheels and perfect bearings, a person could lean into the object and move it. The task would be downright easy in outer space, if the person were between the [stationary] mass and a much larger space vessel. The object would offer resistance in keeping with its inertia, but very little effort would get the object to move. Unless you've planned ahead, getting it back might be a problem.

Why would a cart start moving faster if you give it a hard push than if you gave it a sorft push?
If you push a car hard it'll go faster and if you push a car softer it will go slower
What is the net force if two people push from the right with 15N of force on a box?

If all 1.5 billion people in China jumped at the same time would the earth be thown out of its orbit?
No, the combined force of all 1.5 billion people jumping simultaneously would not be enough to throw the Earth out of its orbit. The Earth is massive compared to the collective force of all those people, and their jumping would not have a significant impact on the Earth's orbit.
How many pounds of force is it to push a 5 gallon bucket under water?
The force required to push a 5-gallon bucket underwater would depend on the buoyancy force exerted by the volume of water displaced by the bucket. This force would be equal to the weight of the water displaced, which can be calculated based on the density of water (about 62.4 pounds per cubic foot). Therefore, you would need a force greater than the buoyancy force to push the bucket underwater.
What would be easier to push across the desk rubber or ice?
It would be easier to push rubber across the desk since rubber has more friction with the surface, providing better grip and stability compared to ice, which is slippery.
