The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about 1/6 of the acceleration due to gravity on the earth. A net force F acts horizontally on an object on the Moon, producing an acceleration equal to am. In the absence of friction and drag, the same force acting on the same object on Earth would produce an acceleration i. e. equal to

a. 6am
b. (1/6)am
c. am
d. 0
e. 9.8 m/s2

According to newton's second law, when the same force is applied to two objects of different masses, a the object with greater mass will experience a great acceleration, and the object with less mass will experience an even greater acceleration, b. the object with greater mass will experience a smaller acceleration, and the object with less mass will experience a greater acceleration, c. the object with greater mass will experience a greater acceleration, and the object with less mass will experience a smaller acceleration, d. the object with greater mass will experience a small acceleration, and the object with less mass will experience an even smaller acceleration.
