Answer:

An object with more mass (heavier object), requires more force to set it in motion if something neglects friction. Newton's 2nd law, F=ma, tells us that the force required to produce a given acceleration is proportional to the mass of the object.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps :)
