Answer:

the gravitational field strength on the moon is 28 m/s^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of an object is given by the product of its mass and the gravitational field strength at its location. Therefore, we can use the weight of the cube on the moon and its mass to find the gravitational field strength on the moon.

We know that the weight of the cube on the moon is 0.70 N. We can also use the formula for weight, which is:

Weight = Mass x gravitational field strength

Let's call the gravitational field strength on the moon "g_moon". We can write the equation as:

0.70 N = mass of cube x g_moon

We also know the mass of the cube is 0.025 kg.

Substituting this value into the equation, we get:

0.70 N = 0.025 kg x g_moon

Solving for g_moon, we get:

g_moon = 0.70 N / 0.025 kg

g_moon = 28 m/s^2

Therefore, the gravitational field strength on the moon is 28 m/s^2.
