F = ma
Force = mass x acceleration
if you push, say, a shopping trolley, you are applying a FORCE to it
if you push the trolley harder, you are increasing the FORCE and the trolley will go faster - it will accelerate
if your friend is pushing a heavier trolley, ie, a more MASSIVE trolley, he will have to apply a greater FORCE than the one you are applying to your trolley, because with F=ma, when the m (mass) increases, the F (force) has to increase to achieve the same acceleration

F = m x a; Force = mass x acceleration

A sultry and steamy one.
