How to Convert Horsepower to Speed?

[VanLilliana]

Horsepower and kilowatts are two completely different concepts and cannot be directly converted. Below is an introduction to horsepower: 1. Concept: Horsepower is a unit of power commonly used in engineering. It generally refers to metric horsepower rather than imperial horsepower. By convention, 1 metric horsepower is defined as the work required to lift a 75-kilogram object 1 meter in 1 second. 2. Metric Horsepower: Metric horsepower is entirely artificially defined and is set to a value very close to imperial horsepower. It is defined as the work of 75 kilogram-force meters completed in 1 second. 3. Imperial Horsepower: Some countries like the UK and the US use imperial horsepower. 1 imperial horsepower equals 550 foot-pounds per second, which is equivalent to 735.7 watts.
