Energy


photo by Trinamole


One piece of buttered toast contains about 315 kilojoules of energy.

How long do you think that energy would last to run a car at 80 km per hour?

How long do you think it could run a 60 watt light bulb?

Fascinating! That will make me think twice before eating a second slice of buttered toast.

the energy from one piece of buttered toast will run at car at 80 km per hour for ONE minute,and run a 60 watt light bulb for an hour and a half!

You need to run SIX minutes to burn off the energy it provides!

No wonder I'm fat!
