I have to do this project for class about how HP/torque relate to physics. Any help is greatly appreciated.

So you're basically looking for someone to do your homework for you so all you have to do is re-package it?

Do some research - learn... that's the point

im guessing your a high school student in jacksonville being that all of the colleges are out now so its called a research project... this is coming from someone that already went through calculus based physics 1 and 2

the real question is: how does it not relate to physics?



in all seriousness. i dont know the proper answer, but it sounds like a cool paper to write. good luck.

i dont know the answer either or any tips for you. if i did i would list them. i think yall are being a little hard on him. he is researching, thats why he came here. he did ask yall to write his paper just for input

Fuel suspended in air (roughly 20% oxygen) ignited at peak compression
creates HEAT which is the transformation of potential energy into kinetic
motion (twisting force....crank/rods). Dynomometers measure torque, read
foot pounds( a weight of x amount pressing down on a 1 foot long bar)
Horsepower is simply a mathematical computation of the amount of torque
at a certain R.P.M. The denominator in said equation is 5252 which shows
why most engine dyno sheets have HP and torque crossing or nearly
identical at this rpm

Also, horsepower (or power in general) is just a force over a certain time. 1 hp = 550 (ft-lb)/s....where torque is measured in ft-lb (or N-m, or whatever units you decide to use). Just looking at that kind of helps see how they're related; torque = force, power = force/time.
