Task 6: Oh dear!

In one weak second, you devour a whole 6-pack of Snickers. About how many hours could you have operated an LED lamp with the energy you consumed at that moment?

 

100g of snickers contain 2014 kJ

1 bar of snickers is about 50g

the energy consumption of an average LED lamp is about 60 Wh per hour.

 

(1 Wh = 3600 Ws (Wattsekunde) = 3600 Joule = 3,6 Kilojoule (kJ).

    6*50 = 300 g
    3*2014kj=6’042 Kj
    6042 kj / 3.6= 1’678.333333333333 wh
    1’678.333333333333 / 60 = 27.97222222222222 h
    You can power a lamp for 27.97222222222222 hours
