Hi gleem, absolutely what I needed. And you explained brilliantly!
I did the same for my car that is 980kgs.. Gives 139hp at wheel(not crank) for reaching 100km/hr. It gave me 3.05s. That's a bout too fast cz it actually hits above 8.
Now as u said earlier it must be cz of friction.. Drag ...

This should be a benchmark answer!
Thank you in advance
hi gleem,
thanks .. your answer was a bit of a help.
Yes 1Watt is 1Nm/s.
Now i wanted to understand the magnitude of 1Hp(or 5hp or 10hp). but not in respect to lifting a weight from the ground. That i kinda got.
so let's take a small weight on wheels , say a car for example... or simply say the...

is it correct if i state, "If you can lift 74.6kgs off the ground to a height of 1m in 1sec you have power = 1hp?"
i say that cause i read...
