Question
A horsepower (hp) is a unit of power equal to about 746 W. What is the power in hp of a$224 \mathrm{kW}$ car engine?
Step 1
We know that 1 kilowatt is equal to 1000 watts. Therefore, we multiply 224 kilowatts by 1000 to get the power in watts. This gives us: \[224 \, \text{kW} = 224 \times 10^3 \, \text{W} = 224000 \, \text{W}\] Show more…
