D. Weight of the object being lifted

1 Answer

  • A Joule is equal to a Newton-meter, so if you expended 10 Joules of energy to lift a 10 Newton load then the distance is:

    D = 10 J (N-m)/ 10 N = 1 meter

    So #1 is A

    #2 is A

    #3 is impossible so the answer is D

    #4 is C. By reducing friction you reduce the losses and improve efficiency.

    #5 is C

    Hope this helps,
