Answer:

Yea

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's compare a brick to a small table, does it take more force and strength to push a car or a small table? A car, because it's heavier and has more mass.

Answer:

Heavier objects (objects with more mass) are more difficult to move and stop. Heavier objects (greater mass) resist change more than lighter objects. Example: Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop.
