Question 698773: Wind farms are a source of renewable energy found around the world. The power O(in kilowatts) generated by a wind turbine varies directly as the cube of the wind speed v(in meters per second) If a turbinw generates 700kW in a 5m/s wind, how much power does it generate in a 14m/s wind?
possible answers;
76.832kW
5,488kW
15.366kW
30,733kW

If a turbinw generates 700kW in a 5m/s wind, how much power does it generate in a 14m/s wind?
-----------------
= 700 * (14/5)^3
=~ 15366 KW
--------
Not 15.366 KW
