Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

To raise the 20kg block 6 meters, you need to give it

                         (20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (6 m) = 1,176 joules

of potential energy.

Your machine takes 2,000 joules of energy to give the block
the 1,176 joules that it takes.

Your machine is only  (1176 / 2000) = 58.8% efficient .

The other 'missing' 824 joules of energy doesn't just disappear.
It heats the machine, and the air around it.  The final result is
that when you use that machine to lift blocks, you have to use
even MORE energy, to blow cool air on the machine and prevent
it from overheating and breaking.

Use the scenario below to answer the following question
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Nicko: So guys, i'm doing some crazy things with my test today, so the energy wasn't destroyed

Teacher: Why?

Friends: Yeah why loser

Nicko: Because we add a galon of gasoline to the vehicle and observe the vehicle as our friend drive it in a circle around us

Friends: Shut up lose-

Teacher: Guys shut up, Nicko.. can you explain more detail?

Nicko: After doing calculations we realize the vehicle did not travel nearly as far as our thought it would when it used the gallon of gasoline.

Teacher: What's your opinion about that Nicko?

Nicko: I claims that the energy could not have been destroyed, but cannot determine what happened to all of the energy.

Bob: It's my turn

Teacher: Nicko, you can go home now.

Nicko: Thank you teacher!

Teacher: *smile

Bob: Bye Nick!

Nicko: Bye Bob! Good Luck!

Bob: You too!

Unfortunately Nicko going to home with those all pain because of bully

Bully: Yo Nicko

Nicko: ...

Bully: where's your money?

Nicko: I don't have money

Bully: *Punch Nicko

Nicko: *Ughh

Bully: *founds money

Nicko: Nooo, Don't :'(

Bully: Lies, this is your money, bye loser.

Nicko: Ughh my body

Then his mom called his teacher and leave from that school
