The oldest wind farm in pennsylvania is humboldt industrial park–the first commercial wind energy project in the mid-atlantic region–which went online december 31, 1999. the two 65‑kilowatt wind turbines were predicted to generate 200,000 kilowatt‑hours of wind energy each year, replacing conventional electric generation that would otherwise produce 140 tons of carbon dioxide–the primary source of global climate change. wind energy from these first two turbines also avoids the annual production of 800 pounds of nitrogen oxides and 1,900 pounds of sulfur dioxide. the local community in luzerne county had mixed reactions to the news that another wind farm was being installed in 2005. some were excited about the possibility of lower energy bills, some were concerned about the effects on the environment, and others wondered if there was enough local wind (average wind speed = 10 miles per hour) to make such an investment worthwhile. an average wind speed of 9 to 13 mph is sufficient for most sizes of wind turbines. the power available in the wind is proportional to the cube of its speed, which means that doubling the wind speed increases the available power by a factor of eight. if the wind speed averages 11 mph on ashley hill and 12 mph on genevie hill, then a turbine operating on genevie hill could, in theory, generate about % more electricity than a turbine on ashley hill. a. 1 b. 10 c. 20 d. 30 e. 50

The man of mass m1 and the woman of mass m2 are standing on opposite ends of the platform of mass m0 which moves with negligible friction and is initially at rest with s = 0. the man and woman begin to approach each other. derive an expression for the displacement s of the platform when the two meet in terms of the displacement x1 of the man relative to the platform.
