you too are weightless/no fulcrum of gravity or balance. MATH has taught you FORCE/MASS/ACCELERATION.

It would be difficult to move, but now because you are on a spaceship and in zero gravity, not impossible - as it would be on earth.
Weight is a measurement of force. However the 500Kg is the object's Mass. Force = Mass * Acceleration. In the case of earth the acceleration is due to gravity.

Try pushing a car along a level road, and stopping it by hand. Even with little friction and without lifting it, it's hard work starting and stopping heavy objects.

F = ma
Force = mass * acceleration
force / mass = acceleration
So unless you exerted a heavy force, the acceleration would be minuscule (small if I spelled it wrong)

Because it -still- has 500 kilos of mass and the inertia to go with it âº
