Isaac Newton was the first to realise that to make something accelerate (speed up or slow down) we must apply a force to the object. A larger force will lead to a larger acceleration. Similarly, if we use the same force, a larger mass (heavier) object will accelerate less - it's harder to move. From Newton's work, we have the following relationship:
