How much energy would it take to raise a can of soda (m = 350 grams) to average cruising altitude (35,000 ft)?  Our textbook states that a gallon of gasoline contains 1.2×108 Joules of energy.  Assuming 100% efficiency, how many gallons of gasoline would it take to raise the can of soda to 35,000 ft?  A calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 Celsius degree (4.186 J).  A nutritional Calorie is actually 1000 calories (1 Cal = 1 kcal).  How many Calories of energy does it take to raise the can of soda to cruising altitude?
