Horsepower (550 Ft*lbf/s)
Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power measurement, defined as 550 foot-pounds of work per second (ft·lbf/s).
History/Origin
The horsepower was developed by James Watt in the late 18th century to compare the power of steam engines with draft horses, and it became a standard unit for measuring engine power.
Current Use
Horsepower is still widely used today to rate the power of engines and motors in automotive, aviation, and industrial applications.
Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
