According to the internet the answer is 14.9. This means my car is actually only 44.5 horsepower in it's truest sense. Still impressive. A full grown horse is pretty badass.

There’s only 1 horsepower in a horse because it’s just one horse

You would think so. Blame James Watt for his faulty math.

Think of the biggest team of horses you've ever seen

Maybe 8 max?

Now double it.

Yeah, 15 horses worth of power hidden away under our hood?!

Yeah, damn impressive.

About one HP on a good day. Well trained athletes maybe more.
We could get out the calculators, but we need the hills' grade, then use your time (speed) to climb.

I used to be. I am 5’10” and I could dunk a basketball one or two hands and backwards for good measure. Not sure if I will ever get to that point again at 60 so it’s the bike. Less stress on the joints.

Horse power. The ability of one horse to lift 550# pounds of coal 1 foot. That is the answer to the question on Auto mechanics tests in The United States.

Now, you have to ask, why 550 pounds of coal?

cuz 550 pounds of diamond cost to much?
You know they are both related?

Like people, the diamonds survived a lot of heat and pressure to become something greater than they were.
