where P is measured in watts and V is measured in miles per hour.
a. Calculate the amount of power that the Jones's windmill would generate in an hour with a steady wind of 8 mph.
b. What wind speed is needed for the windmill to produce 120 watts of power in an hour? Explain or show how you found your answer.
c. Matt says that if the wind blew at 4 mph for one hour and then 12 mph for another hour the amount of power generated by the windmill would be the same as the amount generated by an 8 mph wind in two hours. Laurel disagrees. Who is correct? Justify your answer mathematically.
