The velocity of the wind changed? Hmmm... kinetic energy is the answer?

The wind pass through the turbine just like that isn't it? The energy that drives the turbine, mechanical energy?

Hi haruspex, the question given is just like this. :frown:

Homework Statement At a certain location, wind is blowing steadily at 10m/s . Determine the mechanical energy of air per unit mass and the power generation potential of a wind turbine with 60m diameter blades at the location. Density of air is 1.25kgm-3. ( ans : 0.05kJ/kg, 1770kW ) Homework...
