eli5: what is torque in a car
In: 2
imagine you put 1 horse in front of your car, It needs a bit of time but eventually will get the car moving forward. to do this the horse has to use a lot of strength but will eventually get to it’s maximum speed.
now you put 10 horses in front of your car, they will less time to get moving, they will also need less strength to start moving as well less time to get to the maximum speed.
the Torque or horsepower (hp) is an indicator how much strength the engine in your car will have and how “easy” it is for the car to go top speed.
