“The change in motion is proportional to the resultant driving force applied, and occurs along the straight line in which the force was exerted.”
A body of greater mass also has greater inertia. In fact, if the same force acts on two bodies of different mass, according to the relationship indicated above, the body of greater mass undergoes a smaller acceleration, changing its speed more slowly. This means that the body of greater mass resists more to the variation of its state of rest or of motion and, since the inertia is the property of resisting the changes of the state of rest or of motion, it has a greater inertia.
If a body A acts with a force on a body B, the body B reacts on the body A with a force that has the same intensity and direction, but the opposite orientation.
Each participant tests, in this practice, what it means to be mass and force
It will be clear to everyone that with the same force it will be more difficult to push heavier masses. Participants will enjoy doing this experiment in the various options
