A block is on a frictionless horizontal table, on earth. This block accelerates at 3.6 m/ when a horizontal force is applied to it. The block and table are then set up on the moon where the acceleration due to gravity is 1.62 m/

A horizontal force of 45 N is applied to the block when it is on the moon. What acceleration does this force impart to the block?
A) 1.8 m/
B) 1.6 m/
C) 2.0 m/
D) 2.2 m/
E) 2.3 m/
