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.

Mila [183]

Answer:

1) 5 kingdom system of classification is a type of classification in which all the living organisms are classified into 5 kingdoms i. e. protista, monera, fungi, plantae and animalia.

2) Plants are autotrophic organisms while animals are heterotrophic. Plants have cell wall while cell wall is absent in animal. Plants are fixed while animals move from place to place.

3) Both plants and animals are made of cell. Both plants and animals are multicellular organisms. Both plants and animals reproduce.

4) Plants make their own food while fungi are unable to make their own food. Plant cell wall is made of cellulose while fungi cell wall is made of chitin.

The molecular clock (based on the molecular clock hypothesis (MCH)) is a technique in molecular evolution that uses fossil constraints and rates of molecular change to deduce the time in geologic history when two species or other taxa diverged. It is used to estimate the time of occurrence of events called speciation or radiation. The molecular data used for such calculations is usually nucleotide sequences for DNA or amino acid sequences for proteins. It is sometimes called a gene clock or evolutionary clock.
