ELI5: Torque?

Whats the difference between torque & kilowatts? For instance when looking at the power in a car.

Torque is angular force. It's how hard you can twist something.

Kilowatts is the total power output, which is how hard you can twist something and how many times you can twist it.

For instance, if you were shoveling mud, torque would be how much mud you can lift in your shovel, rpm would be how many times per minute you can lift the shovel, and kilowatts (or horsepower, which is just 1 hp =0.76 kw) is how much mud you can move overall, which is the product of the two. So if your shovel holds 5kg of mud, and shovel it 45 times per minute, your mud output is 225 kg per minute. Or, if your shovel holds 25kg of mud, and you shovel it 9 times per minute, you'd also have a 225kg per minute output.
