SUMMARY
The impulse delivered by an elevator to a moving package is 3600 Ns upward when lifting a 1200N package over a distance of 10 meters in 3 seconds. This conclusion is based on the understanding that while the elevator moves at a constant speed, the net force acting on the package is zero due to the balance of forces. The relevant equation used is the change in momentum equals net force multiplied by the time interval.
