Question:
Imagine that you are a passenger on the International Space Station. While on the station, you are “weightless” and so is everything else, including wrenches and furniture. Even though everything appears weightless, explain why mass still matters. Why does it still take longer for a given force to move a massive object a certain distance than to move an object with a very small mass the same distance?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
