<em><u>throwing a ball up initially has a lot of kinetic energy because it is moving upwards ( kinetic energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.) this all then get converted to gravitational potential energy, and for a moment it is stationary before it begins to fall again. by the time it has returned again, all the gravitational potential energy has turned back into kinetic.</u></em>
Alessandro Volta composed a letter to his amigo, Sir Joseph Banks at the Royal Society of London, in March 1800. In it, Volta drew an image of his voltaic heap, an exacting heap of 24 copper and zinc plates, in addition to cardboard circles absorbed salt. Volta at that point associated copper wires to both the top and base to utilize it as power source.
The voltaic heap and wires would at that point, in principle, charge something helpful, similar to a light or a little engine, however since neither existed in 1800, Volta put the two wires on the tip of his tongue. His tongue, wet with salivation, was a decent conductor and finished the circuit. Volta gave himself a decent stun, accordingly demonstrating he had made another sort of battery, or electrochemical vitality source.
While researchers presently don't prescribe putting live wires on your tongue, Volta was respected for his commitments to science and we named the volt (V), or the unit of measure for electric potential, in his respect.
