Final answer:
The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 0.165g, where 'g' is 9.8 m/s² on Earth, resulting in an acceleration of 1.62 m/s² on the moon.
Step-by-step explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 0.165 times the Earth's gravity (g), which is approximately 9.8 m/s². Therefore, to find the value of 'g' on the moon, we need to multiply the Earth's gravity by 0.165. The calculation would be:
Acceleration due to gravity on the moon = 0.165 × g = 0.165 × 9.8 m/s² = 1.62 m/s²
The value that is closest to this calculation and is provided in the options is 1.6 m/s², which makes option 'b' the correct answer.
