The issue of life and such is a whole other ball of wax. I'm just asking in a theoretical world with 2X gravity, say the car could be autonomously driven for the sake of argument. The only thing that made a little sense from the counter argument was the effect of spoilers pushing cars down...

I'm on another forum debating the topic, and it's been quite a while since I've taken a physics course. Say, for whatever reason, the acceleration of gravity doubled. So now the vehicle would have twice the weight, but the same mass. How would that affect the acceleration of an automobile on...

The answer is that the plane will take off with little difference from the manner it would on solid ground. We know the vessel must move, or there can be no lift. There are only two forces at work here, the force of the engines pushing the craft, and the force of friction on the wheels. Since...
