The work done by the elephant to lift one log is the force multiplied by the height at which the log has been lifted:
W=Fh=250 N \cdot 5 m=1250 J
And so, the total work done to lift the 7 logs is 7 times the work done to lift each log:
W_t = 7 W=7 \cdot 1250 N=8750 J

What are possible units for impulse? Check all that apply. kg • m kg • N • s N • m
Vlada [557]

We know that impulse is simply the product of Force and time:

Impulse = Force * time

 

Since Force has a unit of Newton or kg m/s^2 and time is in seconds, therefore impulse can have units as:

N s

or

Bumek [7]
The current will decrease as the resistance has now increased, meaning less current will be 'let through' the resistor. (assuming it's in series, there's no image)

If the sign of work is negative,
aivan3 [116]

If the sign of work is negative, that means the force and the motion are in opposite directions.

Let's say you see something roll off of the shelf. You catch it, and you let it down slowly and gently.

Gravity exerted down-force on it and it moved down. Gravity did positive work on it.

YOU exerted UP-force on it and it moved down. YOU did negative work on it.

(Also, the falling object exerted down-force on your hand, and your hand moved down. The falling object did positive work on your hand ! Where did THAT energy come from ? It came from the potential energy that the object had while it was on the shelf. Your hand absorbed that energy on the way down, doing negative work. So the object didn't have any kinetic energy when it reached the floor, and it did NOT splinter the floor or shatter in smithereens. It had barely enough energy left to make a sound when it hit the floor.)
