Solution

The force of gravity acting on an object on Earth can be calculated using the formula:

F = m * g

where: F is the force of gravity, m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

On Earth, the acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s².

So, for an object with a mass of 20 kg, the force of gravity would be:

F = 20 kg * 9.8 m/s² = 196 N

So, the correct answer is D. 196 N.
