Power & Torque?

Question

When im browsing through the car buying guide, is was written-Max power, 55/5200 & Max Torque 88 / 3600, What does it mean?

Answer 1

it means theres a maximum of 55 horsepower(or Kilowatts in metric) at 5500 rpm and maximum torque of 88 ft/lbs (assuming this is imperial, not metric, which it would then be NewtonMeters) at 3600 rpm.

in basic terms, hp is how fast your car is going to go, while torque is your ability to pull stuff. Both are related though. I wont get into specifics and power/acceleration curves and gearing and such.

Answer 2

Well if this is a car it seems quite low, but the 55 would be 55 horsepower at 5200 RPM and 88 pounds of torque at 3600 RPM.....

Answer 3

potential is the skill to do artwork artwork achieved is the comparable as potential expended The greater efficient you are the greater artwork you're able to do in a given time it relatively is the comparable because of the fact the greater potential you may convert in a given time Torque is the skill to reason issues to rotate that's rotational artwork achieved From ordinary physics equations artwork achieved is tension x distance (linear) Torque is comparable equation Torque = tension x distance (rotational) The greater efficient the gadget or engine the greater torque it may produce what makes the vehicle jerk is the potential utilized to the touch floor between tyres and highway floor The greater efficient the engine the greater beneficial tension is utilized interior the path of the transmission into propelling the vehicle forward
