Ohm's law :

V = IR

The amount of work done is

P = IV or P = I^2R (using Ohm's law to substitute)

Therefore,

P = 64*15

  = 960W

So the total energy released is

Pt = 960*60

    = 57600J

What is ohm's law ?

"Ohm's law states the relationship between electric current and potential difference. It states that the current that flows through most conductors is directly proportional to the voltage applied to it."

The strength of a direct current is directly proportional to the potential difference and inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit.

What is work done?

Work done : W = (|F| cosθ) |d|

"Work done is defined as the multiplication of magnitude of displacement d and the component of the force that is in the direction of displacement."

Ohms law says that V = IR
The amount of work done is P = IV or P = I^2R (using Ohm's law to substitute)
Therefore P = 64*15 = 960W
So the total energy released is Pt = 960*60 = 57600J

Permeability is the condition of being capable of having materials flow into and out of a membrane. The permeability of a cell membrane is determined by how easily a molecule can diffuse across the membrane. Usually, only molecules that are fat-soluble can permeate across a cell membrane. Why is this the case?

Answers

Permeability is the condition of being capable of having materials flow into and out of a membrane. The permeability of a cell membrane is determined by how easily a molecule can diffuse across the membrane. Usually, only molecules that are fat-soluble can permeate across a cell membrane. This is because the layer that is exposed on the linings of the cell membrane is nonpolar and can therefore allow the fat-soluble molecule to pass through.

Answer:Cell membranes are composed of a lipid bilayer.

What is the potential energy of a 1-kilogram ball is thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 30m/sec?

Answers

the ball thrown from height=0
potental energy(PE) =0
kinetic energy(KE) = 0.5mv^2 = 0.5(1)(30^2) = 450

at the highest point the ball does not moved, v=0
potential energy at its maximum
kinetic energy = 0

Energy is conserved then
total energy before = after
PE1 + KE1 = PE2 + KE2
0 + 450 = PE2 + 0

conservation of energy is fun fact
mass=1kg
g=10m/s^2 (assuming)
u=30m/s
height(h)=u^2/2g
=900/20=45m
P.E.=mgh
=1×10×45=450 joules
