Engine power is typically measured in:
* Horsepower (hp): A unit of power commonly used in the US and other countries.
* Kilowatts (kW): The standard unit of power in the International System of Units (SI).
Here's how engine displacement and power relate:
* Displacement indicates the size of the engine. A larger displacement generally means more power potential.
* Power is a measure of the engine's ability to do work. It's determined by factors like displacement, engine design, and efficiency.
Think of it like this:
* Displacement is like the size of the pot you're cooking in.
* Power is how much food you can cook in that pot.
While a larger pot gives you more space to cook, you still need to apply heat (and cook efficiently) to get a good meal. Similarly, a larger displacement doesn't guarantee more power; other factors play a crucial role.
