3.6Mj is an amount of energy. The "M" is the metric multiplier for one million (short for Mega) and the "j" means joules, the metric unit of energy named after the physicist "James Prescott Joule". 3.6Mj is therefore 3,600,000 joules of energy. 1 joule is the amount of energy needed to displace a force of 1 newton through a distance of 1 metre. It is also the amount of energy consumed in 1 second at a power level of 1 watt.

3.6Mj will therefore displace a force of 1 newton though 3.6Mm (3600km) or a force of 3.6Mn (3.6 Mega newtons) through a distance of 1 metre.
