Question

Strange as it may seem, it is as hard to accelerate a car on a level surface on the moon as it is here on the Earth. This is because?1.the weight of the car is independent of gravity.2.the mass of the car is independent of gravity.3.Nonsense! A car is much more easily accelerated on the moon than on the Earth.

Answer 1

2.the mass of the car is independent of gravity.

Step-by-step explanation:

When mass and acceleration is multiplied we get the force.

`F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=(F)/(m)`

Mass of an object is always constant anywhere in the universe. Acceleration of the car would be the ratio of the force and mass. As the mass is constant force the same force applied the acceleration is the same on Earth or Moon.

Hence, the mass of the car is independent of gravity.
