A single can of a regular soda, contains 150 calories that is equivalent to 6.28 x 105 J ( 1 Cal = 4186 J ) of energy. Using results from the previous question, calculate how many meters would that person ( 160.4 lb ) have to climb to convert all that energy into potential energy. Would that be enough energy to climb to the top of Sears Tower (442 m) in Chicago after drinking one can of a regular soda?
