Under certain conditions, the power P, in watts per hour, generated by a windmill with winds blowing v miles per hour is give by
P(v) = 0.015v3 a) find the power generated by 15 mph winds.
b) How fast must the wind blow in order to generate 120 watts of power in 1 hour?
c) copy the graph that you used to find the answers to these questions. Make sure you label the
