13. Wind farms are a source of renewable energy found around the world. The power P (in kilowatts) generated by a wind turbine v

aries 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 12m/s wind?

Since the Power is directly proportional to the velocity, their ratio \frac{P}{v^{3} } is constant.

<span>Therefore </span>\frac{500}{ 10^{3} } = \frac{x}{ 12^{3} } which is a proportion:

500 : 1000 = x : 1728

that can be easily solved:

x = (500×1728)/1000 = 864kW

Let's assume

The power  (in kilowatts) generated by a wind turbine as P

the wind speed  (in meters per second) as v

we are given

The power P (in kilowatts) generated by a wind turbine varies directly as the cube of the wind speed v (in meters per second)

so, we get

P=kv^3

where

k is a proportionality constant

now, we are given

If a turbine generates 500kW in a 10m/s wind

so, at v=10m/s , P=500kW

now, we can use it and find k

500=k(10)^3

k=0.5

now, we can plug it back

and we get

P=0.5v^3

we can plug v=12m/s

and find P

P=0.5(12)^3

P=864kW

so,

The power  generates in a 12m/s wind is 864kW........Answer

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
2^n - 3 = 83 
<span>2^n = 86 </span>
<span>ln(2^n) = ln(86) </span>
<span>n*ln(2) = ln(86) </span>
<span>n= ln(86)/[ln(2)] (which is the same as "log base 2 of 86") </span>
<span>n= 6.426264755</span>

3750 for 12 years at 6.5% compounded daily
Alisiya [41]

I don't think am right but I hope I can help in any possible way...

3750 for 12 years at 6.5%

multiply 12 * 6.5 = 78% for 12 years

Now we do the following equation -> 3750*0.78 = 2925

Now add 3750 + 2925 = 6675

Hope I'm correct please double check my answer I'm not 100% sure.

Good luck
