Answer 1

When conducting an experiment in a vacuum on the Moon, the key difference would be due to the variation in gravitational force. The mass of the objects would remain the same, as mass is an intrinsic property of matter and does not change with location.

The Moon has a different gravitational force compared to Earth (approximately 1/6th of Earth's gravity), which affects the acceleration of the objects due to gravity and, consequently, the time it takes for the objects to reach the ground.

Thus, the correct response is:

**the acceleration, time to reach the ground, and gravitational force**
