Newtons Are a Unit of Mileage

I&#x27;m pretty sure there&#x27;s an issue in the first equation. A Nm (Newton-meter) is the cross-product between a force and a distance and is a vector quantity (more specifically a bivector), while a watt is a dot product and is a scalar quantity. Converting Nm to W is a dimensional analysis error.<p>Similarly mileage is force along the direction of travel, but that&#x27;s moreso a nitpick.

I&#x27;ve actually done the same thing with modeling my car at different speeds! I used linear regression though haha. I have the same car too!What a coincidence. Time to compare homework!

Mileage for gas cars is measured in square meters: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;what-if.xkcd.com&#x2F;11&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;what-if.xkcd.com&#x2F;11&#x2F;</a>

I indeed knew the energy equivalent mileage simplified to tractive effort. What else could it have simplified to?
