The metric unit of power is the 'watt', and of course its power-of-ten multiples
and submultiples are used where necessary to produce convenient numbers.
Probably the closest to the horsepower is the 'kilowatt' = about 1.3405 HP .
The only unit that appears in both the modern SI (metric) system and the old fashioned system is the second.
Yes, it is and 1 oz = 28.35 grams. __________ No, it is not. Ounces can be converted to metric units like milliliters or grams, but ounces themselves are part of what is called the imperial system.
The unit of length, meters, belongs to both the US Customary System and the metric system.
The unit that belongs to both the US and metric system is the meter (m) for length measurement.
There isn't a separate US metric system, the metric system is international and the same everywhere. So one kilometre in the U.S.A. is one kilometre.
METRIC
Since gallon is a volume unit and the metric ton is a weight unit there is no possible conversion factor. It all depends on the density of the material.
Meters are commonly used inside the metric system, while they're equivalent in the Imperial (US) system is called feet.
A gram is a metric unit of mass. Ounces are not metric. Ounces might be a unit of weight, but they might also be a unit of liquid volume, and you have to guess which one is intended, because they're not equivalent. Also, a fluid ounce in the US is not the same as a fluid ounce in the UK, but a ounce of weight in the US is exactly the same as an ounce of weight in the UK.
A tonne is a metric unit, equivalent to 1,000 kg. A ton is an imperial unit (long ton) equivalent to 2240 avoirdupois pounds and US customary unit (short ton) equivalent to 2,000 US pounds. 1 tonne = 1.10231 short tons = 0.984206528 long tons.
A kilowatt is the metric unit for power. A horsepower is the Imperial unit for the same thing. So there's absolutely no reason why a kilowatt shouldn't be used to measure the output power of a car engine in the same way that a horsepower was. In fact, outside the US, most countries rate their car engines in kilowatts not in horsepower.

There is no individual unit in the Metric system that is near one inch in the English system, I'm afraid.
No. The kilogram is a metric unit of mass and is not commonly used in the US. ------- In the US we use pounds instead of kg. Although companies will put both US & metric measurements on packaging, especially food items.
Ounces are an imperial unit. They are a bit confusing as they can be a volume unit or a mass unit. The metric equivalent would be gram or millilitre. About 30 gram = 1 oz About 30 mL = 1 fluid oz
