or i think about it as: starting your bicycle in a higher gear going up a hill needs more torque (from your leg). getting your bicycle to go faster on a flat section in that higher gear needs horsepower. that's as much as I can do the ELI5 thing for it.
everything wrote:the EE video is difficult for me, probably because the topic is difficult. it's hard to say "if mass is equal". also, the HP has the time component, which is hard to understand as well. then he talks about gearing to have the high HP motor make more TQ. that's why I think of it as big truck vs. honda civic. one can tow but not go fast round a track. other can go fast around a track (in certain variants or with mods), but not tow (but yes yes has way lighter weight, better handling, etc. so it's so hard to completely "get it").
