There is no direct conversion from horsepower to miles per hour. Horsepower is a unit of energy equal to about 750 watts. Miles per hour is a rate. A small motorcycle engine of 6 HP might reach a speed of 50 MPH. A 6 HP snow blower might reach 1 MPH. A 2,500 HP military tank might reach 40 MPH.
Yes bhp is the power at the crank or flywheel who is wheel horsepower usually when people say HP they mean bhp
Equal... in what sense? hp (horse-power) is a unit of power; 280 hp is more than 250 hp. An engine that works at a higher power can get more work done per time unit. Such an engine is also likely to use up more fuel - assuming the energy efficiency of both is similar.
6 hp dropped out of an aeroplane will go 100mph. a 6 hp gocart will go about 60mph on a track. A 6hp generator should sit quite still and not very quickly. a 6hp tugboat couldn't get out of a bathtub
There is no answer since you are comparing speed (km/h) with power (hp)
