Question

The power a windmill can generate is a function of the velocity of the wind. The function can be approximated by P = f(v) = 0.011v3, where P is the power in watts and v is the velocity of the wind in meters per second. How much power will be produced by a windmill when the velocity of the wind is 13 m/s? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer 1

24.167W

Explanation:

I'm asumming that 0.011v3 is a typo and is actually 0.011v^3.

You're given the equation for power P= 0.011v³, where v is your wind velocity.

The question gave you the wind velocity of 13m/s.

This mean you just literally pluc 13 into v in the equation

P= 0.011v³

P= 0.011(13)³

P= 24.167 W, don't forget your units
