It all comes down to mass.
The more mass an object has the greater it's gravitational force is.
Mass is the amount of matter or "stuff" an object has which we usually refer to as weight because it is being pulled down by the Earth. An object from Earth in space would have little to no weight yet have the same about of mass.

Why is the force of gravity between you and earth greater than the force of gravity between you and a car?
Earth has much more mass than a car does. Therefore Earth has much stronger gravity.
Why is the force of gravity between you and earth is greater than the force of gravity between you and a car?
The main reason is that Earth has more mass than several billion cars have.
Why is friction greatest when an object is stationary?
Because the frictional force must be greater than forces that would cause the object to move. Example: a car parked on a slope does not move despite the force of gravity acting to pull it down the hill. Why? Because the frictional forces are greater than the forces of gravity.
What forces are on a still car?
The force of Gravity.
What force is used to slow down a car?
the force that is used shall be gravity .

What is the difference from a moving car and a stationary car?
speed! a moving car is having a force greater than the friction of the tires/air (and gravity on a steep upward hill) applied to it, and is moving forward. The force can come from the engine, or external forces.
How does the strength of gravitational force on earth differ between a mountain and a car?
The more massive object will have a greater mass. Mass and gravity are interrelated. More mass, more gravity.
Is the force needed to accelerate a car greater than the force needed to accelerate a bicycle to the same velocity?
Force is directly proportional to mass. Therefore, even both the car and bicycle are being accelerated to the same velocity, accelerating a car would require more force since it has a greater mass.
What forces are on a still car?
The force of Gravity.
What direction does the force of gravity apply to the rollercoaster car?
From what I know, Force of Gravity always acts in the vertically downward direction.
What force is used to slow down a car?
the force that is used shall be gravity .
Can a car can be considered an example of gravity?
Actually gravity is an energy/force that pull things
Why does a car speeding up on the highway have a greater force than a car slowly driving into a garage?
Because it has more momentum the faster it goes.
Are the forces balanced or unbalanced when a car is setting off?
Unbalanced. The rotational force upon the drive wheels must be greater than the force of inertia in order for the car to begin moving.
