    1.61 * 10⁶ kJ

    Explanation:

    The human burns energy so as to be healthy.

    The amount of energy burnt per day by an adult human is 2 * 20³ kcal per day. Since there is 24 hours in a day, the amount of energy burnt per hour is 2 * 20³ * 24 = 48 * 20³ kcal per hour.

    The conversion rate of kcal to kJ is 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ. Therefore converting the kcal per hour to kJ per hour gives:

    48 * 20³ * 4.184 = 200.882 * 20³ kJ = 1.61 * 10⁶ kJ
