Discover the convenience of converting energy from kilojoules to horsepower-hours with Newtum's precise Kilojoule to Horsepower metric Hour Converter.
A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to 1,000 joules, the standard unit of energy. One joule is the energy transferred when one newton of force moves an object one meter. Kilojoules are commonly used to express the energy content in food and the amount of work done by electrical appliances.
Definition of Horsepower-hourA horsepower-hour (hp*h) is a unit of energy that represents the work done by a power of one horsepower operating for one hour. Horsepower is a unit of power that denotes the rate at which work is done. The horsepower-hour combines power and time to quantify the total energy output in certain applications, such as engines or motors over an operational period.
| Kilojoule (kJ) | Horsepower-hour (hp*h) |
|---|---|
| 1 kJ | 0.0003725 hp*h |
| 5 kJ | 0.0018625 hp*h |
| 10 kJ | 0.003725 hp*h |
| 20 kJ | 0.00745 hp*h |
| 50 kJ | 0.018625 hp*h |
| 100 kJ | 0.03725 hp*h |
| 200 kJ | 0.0745 hp*h |
| 500 kJ | 0.18625 hp*h |
| 1000 kJ | 0.3725 hp*h |
| 2000 kJ | 0.745 hp*h |
1 kJ = 0.0003725 hp*h
1 hp*h = 2684.51953 kJ
Example 1:
Convert 10 kJ to hp*h:
10 kJ = 10 × 0.0003725 hp*h = 0.003725 hp*h
Example 2:
Convert 50 kJ to hp*h:
50 kJ = 50 × 0.0003725 hp*h = 0.018625 hp*h
A brief history of the Kilojoule to Horsepower metric Hour Converter reflects the evolution of energy measurement. Since the industrial revolution, there has been a need to convert between different units of power and energy. The converter is a product of this need, allowing for seamless conversions between the metric system and the more traditional horsepower-hour.
Explore the practicality of converting energy units with our Kilojoule to Horsepower metric Hour Converter – a tool with real-world applications.
Example 1: To convert 75 kJ to hp*h, the calculation would be 75 kJ * 0.0003725 = 0.0279375 hp*h.
Example 2: Converting 150 kJ to hp*h, would result in 150 kJ * 0.0003725 = 0.055875 hp*h.
