horsepower [hp, hp (UK)]
Definition: Horsepower is a unit of power equal to 745.7 watts (metric) or 746 watts (electric).
Historyandorigin: It was introduced by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the power of horses.
CurrentUse: It is used in automotive and engineering contexts.
funfact: One horsepower is approximately the power required to lift 550 pounds one foot in one second.
kilojoule/second [kJ/s]
Definition: A kilojoule per second is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts.
Historyandorigin: It is part of the metric system.
CurrentUse: It is used in scientific and engineering contexts.
funfact: The prefix 'kilo-' comes from the Greek word 'khilioi,' meaning 'thousand.'

How to Convert horsepower to kilojoule/second
1 horsepower [hp, hp (UK)] = 0.7456998716 kilojoule/second [kJ/s]
1 kilojoule/second [kJ/s] = 1.3410220896 horsepower [hp, hp (UK)]
we use cross multiplication method
horsepower [hp, hp (UK)] → kilojoule/second [kJ/s]
1 → 0.7456998716
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.7456998716=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.1185498074
