If the Kitty Hawk Flyer has 12 HP how would you express this power in the SI system and report the numerical value in kilowatts?
Isn't one Hp= 746 watts ?
To express the power of the Kitty Hawk Flyer in the SI system and report the numerical value in kilowatts, we need to convert horsepower (HP) to kilowatts (kW).
1 horsepower is equal to 0.7355 kilowatts.
To convert 12 HP to kilowatts, we can use the following equation:
Power in kilowatts = Power in horsepower × 0.7355
Now, we can calculate the power in kilowatts:
Power in kilowatts = 12 HP × 0.7355 = 8.826 kW
Therefore, the power of the Kitty Hawk Flyer is 8.826 kilowatts in the SI system.
