Wind farms are a source of renewable energy found around the world. The power P (in kilowatts) generated by a wind turbine varies directly as the cube of the wind speed v (in meters per second). If a turbine generates 500kW in a 10m/s wind, how much power does it generate in a 12 m/s wind?

Answer:

600kW

Explanation:

Referring to the fact that 10m/s of wind is 500kW so divide 500 by 10.

500/10=50

So there is 50 kW is 1m/s of wind. Now multiply 12 by 50

12x50=600

So for 12m/s of wind there is 600kW
