Answer:
The gravitational field strength (acceleration due to gravity) on the moon is 1.63 m/s²
Explanation:
From the question, the moon has a gravitational field strength (acceleration due to gravity) that is about 1/6 that of Earth's.
To determine the gravitational field strength (acceleration due to gravity) on the moon, we will multiply the Earth's gravitational field strength (acceleration due to gravity) by 1/6.
Earth's gravitational field strength = 9.8 m/s²
∴ Moon's gravitational field strength = 1/6 × 9.8 m/s²
Moon's gravitational field strength = 1.63 m/s²
Hence, the gravitational field strength (acceleration due to gravity) on the moon is 1.63 m/s².
