Question 1198033: 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 500 kW in a 10
m/s wind, how much power does it generate in a 12 m/s wind?

The ratio of the two wind speeds is 12/10 = 6/5.

The power generated varies directly as the cube of the wind speed, so the ratio of the amounts of power generated at the two wind speeds is .

ANSWER: 864 Kw

P (in kilowatts) generated by a wind turbine varies 'directly as the cube of the wind speed v (in meters per second).
cross multiply to solve
P = 12*500/10 = 600kw
