If Approximate kinetic energy of a car driving on a highway (1 MJ) was a standard unit ...

  • Kinetic energy per gram of meteor hitting the Earth (500 kJ)...more would be 1/2 of Approximate kinetic energy of a car driving on a highway
  • Energy released in burning a match (1 kJ)...more would be 1/1000 of Approximate kinetic energy of a car driving on a highway
