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

Which of the following is most likely the next step in the series
natima [27]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

In the pattern, there are some similarities with the first three circles.

1. The number is on the blue half.

2. The halves switch spots, red-blue, blue-red, red-blue.

So, the next one should have the number on the blue half and the next pattern should be red-blue, blue-red, red-blue, and blue-red.

Which one has both the number on the blue half and the pattern blue-red?

C
