Voltage = joules/coulomb
1 coulomb = 6.25 x 10^18 electrons
8.5 x 10^18 electrons = 1.36 coulombs
136 joules / 1.36 coulombs = 100 volts
===================================
The statement regarding the ball is false. Any object that's not hanging from something
or resting on something is accelerating downward on account of gravity. No matter what
direction you throw the ball, or how hard, its acceleration is 9.8 meters per second^2
directed downward, from the instant it leaves your hand until it hits the ground.
