Question

Explain a situation in which a lighter object would take more work to move than a heavier object

Answer 1

Answer: The lighter object could be pushed up a much steeper incline and for a much longer distance.

Explanation: Using the formula for work, W= F d cosФ, you can see that it takes into account distance and the angle of the incline. With a much larger incline and with much more distance to cover, eventually the lighter object would require more work than a heavier object with no incline and very little distance to cover.
