Hi Guys,
I understand that the energy associated with wind damage from a hurricane goes as the third power of the velocity of the wind.
How is this relationship derived? I ask because when I think of wind energy, I think of Kinetic Energy going as the square of the velocity. Intuitively, this third power does not seem correct!
Thank you,
Bob
