What is the light on the dash panel that looks like an up arrow on a 2007 ford focus?
Shift light, maybe? If it comes on around at a certain RPM every time, that'd be my guess.
What is the rpm of the earth?
RPM = revolutions per minute 0,000694rpm -> considering that the Earth rotates in 24 hours 0,000696rpm -> considering that the Earth rotates in 23h and 56 minutes (which is the real time in which the Earth makes 1 revolution) therefore in general its .00069
Why is the relationship between torque horsepower and RPM not linear In automobile terms.?
It is, Horsepower = Torque x RPM, but Torque is not constant across the rev range of an engine. For gasoline engines, there is generally very little torque at low rpms, generally flat torque across the middle rpms, and then a drop off as the engine starts spinning too fast for complete combustion. Electric engines, on the other hand, start off with maximum torque and decrease with higher engine speed. So, the short answer to your question is that it's a direct relationship between horsepower and torque, but the variation in the torque curve across the rpm range makes the resultant horsepower curve vary too. (If your question was really why does torque vary with rpm, simply stated it's because engines have varying efficiencies at different speeds.)

What is the speed in RPM of a ceiling fan?
945 rpm
How much rpm for 12 volt ac motor?
The formula for RPM is, RPM = Hz x 60 x 2/# of poles the motor has. To answer this question more information needs to be stated.
At what speed should i shift gears on 2002 sportster 1200C?
I have a 2001 sporster. I usually shift at or alittle above 3000 rpm. Any thing lower puts my rpm at or under 2000 in the next higher gear, which makes my engine labor. I use my tac to shift and have never noticed the mph.
What makes the gears of a transmission grind?
Too fast or slow of rpm for gear your trying to switch into A bad or going bad shift synchronizer
What RPM does the 1999 Lexus Rx300 shift into third gear with overdrive off?
3000 RPM
When should you shift in a 1984 corvette with RPM?
Red-line is at 4200 RPM and peak torque of 290 pounds-feet is at 2800 RPM.
How Shift gear RPM 13 speed eaton fuller transmission?
Keep rpm between 1400 to 1600
What RPM range should you use to change gear in my Toyota MR2?
If you are looking to max your gas mileage, shift earlier like around 2500-2800 rpm. To make your car sound cool, I shift at 4000 rpm, but it will use more fuel
What will happen if I don't shift when shift light flashes?
You will use more gas due to the higher RPM. The shift light is to help you to save on gas milage.
What is the ECT button for on the center console for 99 elantra?
It provides a little more power by changing the transmission shift times to a more aggressive setting. For instance if in normal mode it may shift at 3,500 rpm. With the ECT in power mode, it would probably shift at 4,000 rpm or 4,500 rpm. Setting the ECT to power will however lower your gas mileage.
What RPM do you shift a Dodge 3500 6 speed?
1600-2100 rpms
At what RPM do you shift on a motorcycle?
It depends on the motorcycle. I have a 96 buell s2t and ideal shifting rpm is about 4000. anywhere before the red on your tac
What number do you shift on?
Depends on what you're trying to accomplish, and what you're driving. But most of the time anywhere from 2500 rpm and 3500 rpm is a safe bet.
Do you have to shift a 1988 Yamaha 350 warrior with the clutch or do you shift on the go?
no you have to use the clutch if not it will take a toll on the clutches I have owned a warrior for over 5 years and never changed the clutches in it and I shift on the go. Mine won't let me shift in a higher gear if I don't have the RPM's. Maybe I am lucky, or maybe if the RPM's are high enough it won't hurt them.
