- A certain region currently has wind farms capable of generating 2,400 megawatts (2.4 gigawatts) of power. A. Assuming wind farms typically generate 35% of their capacity, how much energy in kilowatt-hours, can the region's wind farms generate in one year? Given that the average household in the region uses about 10,000 kilowatt-hours of energy each year, how many houses can be powered by these wind farms? B. One of the great advantages of wind power is that it does not produce the carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming. On average, the energy produced from fossil fuels generates 1.5 pounds of carbon dioxide for every kilowatt-hour of energy. Suppose the region did not have its wind farms and the energy was instead produced from fossil fuels. How much more carbon dioxide would be entering the atmosphere each year in pounds?arrow_forwardChampionship swimmers take about 22 s and about 30 arm strokes to move through the water in a 50 m freestyle race.a.

During one arm stroke, the paddle moves halfway around a 90-cm-radius circle.
