1 horsepower (HP) in watts equals:

Answer: 746 W.

  • A 100 W
  • B 746 W
  • C 1000 W
  • D 1200 W

Correct answer: B. 746 W

Explanation: 1 HP = 746 W (approximately). Used to rate engines and motors.

Energy Conservation: KE ⇄ PE on a SwingA: PE maxKE = 0B: KE maxPE minC: PE maxKE = 0

As a pendulum swings, total mechanical energy (KE+PE) stays constant: at the highest points A and C, all energy is potential (zero speed); at the lowest point B, all of that energy has converted into kinetic energy (maximum speed).

Concept context

Work-energy theorem, potential energy, conservation of energy, collisions.
