To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists energies between 105 joules and 106 joules. An order of magnitude is the class of scale or magnitude of any amount, where each class contains values of a fixed ratio to the class preceding it. ... The joule (symbol: J) is the SI unit of energy, or work. ...

  • Weaker energies
  • 200,000–500,000 J – the kinetic energy of a car at highway speeds
  • 268,452 J – 1/10 horsepower applied for an hour, equivalent to the average human work output in an hour (conventional value in agriculture; in other words a horse works 6 minutes to produce the same energy a man produces in one hour)
  • 360,000 J – 0.1 kWh
  • 745,700 J – a power of 100 horsepower applied for ten seconds
  • Stronger energies

To help compare different orders of magnitude we list here energies between 10,000 joules and 100,000 joules. ... Kinetic energy is energy that a body possesses as a result of its motion. ... A small variety of cars, the most popular kind of automobile. ... The horsepower (hp) is the name of several non-metric units of power. ... The kilowatt-hour (symbol: kW·h) is a unit for measuring energy. ... The horsepower (hp) is the name of several non-metric units of power. ... To help compare orders of magnitude of different times, this page lists times between 101 seconds and 102 seconds (10 to 100 seconds). ... To help compare different orders of magnitude this page lists energies between 106 joules (a megajoule, symbol MJ) and 107 joules. ...
