A wind turbine converts some of the kinetic energy of the wind intoelectric energy. Suppose that the blades of a small wind turbinehave length L = 3.7 m.

(a) When a 11 m/s (24.607 mi/h) wind blows head-on, what volume ofair (in m3) passes through the circular area swept out by theblades in 1.0 s?

(c) What is the translational kinetic energy of this mass ofair?

(d) If the turbine can convert 43% of this kinetic energy intoelectric energy, what is its electric power output?

(e) What happens to the power output if the wind speed decreases to1/2 of its initial value?

c. _ _ _ _ Unit of electrical energy

A typical nuclear power plant generates electricity at the rate of 900 MW . The efficiency of transforming thermal energy into electrical energy is and the plant runs at full capacity for 80% of the year. (Nuclear power plants are down about 20 of the time for maintenance and refueling.)
