Question

The power a windmill can generate is a function of the velocity of the wind. The function can be approximated by P = f(v) = 0.015v^3, where P is the power in watts and v is the velocity of the wind in meters per second. How much power will be produced by a windmill when the velocity of the wind is 12 m/s? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

  25.920 W

Step-by-step explanation:

Fill in the given number and do the arithmetic.

 P = f(12) = 0.015(12^3) = 25.920 . . . . . watts
