Correct answer: B
The force of gravity acting on the object on the moon can be found by multiplying its mass by the acceleration due to gravity on the moon. The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is a constant and is approximately 1.63m/s².
120kg×1.63m/s²=195.6kg.m/s²
kg.m/s²=N
The force of gravity acting on the object on the moon would be of approximately 196N.
