    D. 19,600 J

    Explanation:

    The formula for potential energy (PE) is PE = mgh, with m standing for mass, g for acceleration due to gravity, and h for height. The acceleration due to gravity on earth is constant, 9.8 meters per second squared. Substituting the formula would give PE = (20) (9.8) (100) / PE = 19,600 J.
