Increase the resistance to motion: * Strap a parachute to it. * Hammer it out to make it flat, increasing its surface area. * Increase the air pressure. Decrease the accelerating force: * Drop it on a lighter planet, like Mars. * Take it further from the ground, where the gravitational field is weaker. Cheat: * Use a slow motion camera.
What else can I help you with?
If there were no air resistance how did the speeds of a feather and a penny compare?
If there was no air resistance and a feather and a penny were dropped from the same height they would both pick up speed by the same amount and they would hit the ground at the same speed and at the same time.
How much is a penny worth after being dropped from the empire state building?
A penny dropped from the Empire State Building would not be worth much more than its face value of one cent. Due to air resistance, it reaches a terminal velocity of about 25 mph, meaning it wouldn't gain enough speed to cause significant damage upon landing. While it might create a small impact, it’s unlikely to be lethal or highly valuable; the penny would simply land as a standard coin.
What is the instantaneous speed of an object 2 second after being dropped in a vacuum?
In a vacuum, the instantaneous speed of an object 2 seconds after being dropped would be approximately 19.6 m/s, as the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 and the object would have been accelerating for 2 seconds.
What would happen if you dropped a penny into a black hole?
The penny will be gone. You will also be gone with it, because getting close enough to a black hole to drop a penny inside it will catch you in its gravity well.
Would a bowling ball and a penny hit the ground at the same time if dropped from an equal height?
Yes
What drops the fastest a penny or an eraser?
an eraser. a penny would catch more air under it. no both would drop at same speed
How will a package look after it was dropped from an airplane?
That would depend on the package, its contents and how it is wrapped. An empty, sturdy box will soon achieve terminal speed and look much like the box would after being dropped from a height of a few meters. A poorly wrapped heavy object would be seriously damaged.
If you drop a penny and a text book at the sametime. which one will hit the ground first?
If a penny and a text book were dropped in a vacuum then they will both hit the ground at the same time. This refers to Newton's laws. If they are dropped at the same time on earth then the text book would hit the ground first.
If i dropped a penny off an airplane and it hits your head can it kill you?
I say NO. If you mean it is dropped and falls vertically. Discover Channel's "Myth Busters" tried to determine if a bullet would kill you if it was fired directly vertical and falls on its own. The bullet or penny would fall at terminal velocity which is about 120mph. However, they will tumble which slows them down more. This velocity and their mass is not enough to kill you.
If one were being amiable one would?
If one were being amiable, one would return a dropped wallet.
What would happen if you dropped a penny of the Eiffel tower?
no it will not kill somebody because the penny would reach terminal velocity before it hit the ground.
Why would dropping a penny into a small cup at the bottom of a large fish tank be harder to do than it seems?
The penny will zig zag till it hits the bottom, the same way a a piece of paper would if you held it up and dropped it. It would be easier to drop a marble or a pebble.
