1 E6 J

To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists energies between 10⁶ joules (a megajoule, symbol MJ) and 10⁷ joules.

Weaker energies
1,000,000 J = 239 kcal – the nutritional value of a snack (e.g. a Mars bar) is around that value, typical servings of staple food such as 150 g of rice or 200 g of wheat bread as well.
1,900,000 J – energy released by the explosion of one pound of TNT
2,147,616 J – the power output of one man working one day (8 hours; calculation based on the conventional value for human power output used in agriculture, which is 0.1 horsepower)
2,684,520 J – a power of one horsepower applied for one hour
3,600,000 J (or 3.6 MJ) – 1 kWh (kilowatt-hour)
4,184,000 J – energy released by explosion of one kilogram of TNT
6,300,000 J = 1500 kcal - typical recommended daily amount of food energy for a sedentary woman
8,400,000 J = 2000 kcal - typical recommended daily amount of food energy for a sedentary man
