The answer is Inertia.
Inertia is described as the resistance of any given physical object towards any kind of change in its state of motion.
Inertia in other words is the propensity of the objects to keep moving in a straight line at a constant velocity.
Inertia of an object is directly proportional to its mass.
Therefore, for equal quantity of change in state of motion of two distinct objects, dissimilar magnitudes of forces are needed.
Newton elucidated this interesting tendency.
We usually get tempted to link inertia with weight, but astronauts have shown us the reality, they have to manhandle huge objects near space station.
They need to apply a proper continuous effort to move them - and an important thing to be noted is that they also have to put an opposite effort to slow the object and get it on the required position.
