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.

A penny that was dropped hit the ground in 4.5 seconds what was the velocity of the penny?
Simply use the expression v = gt g = 9.8 m/s^2 and t given as 4.5 s So velocity with which the penny hits the ground will be 44.1 m/s
What do the terms headwind and tailwind mean?
Imagine that you are up in the air, flying flat. No airplane, just you, with your arms stretched out in front of you,like Superman, flying in the direction that your fingers point. Your head is in front, your feet are in the back.A head wind is a wind that blows opposite to the direction you're moving, approaches you from the front,hits you in the head, and slows you down.A tailwind is a wind that blows in the same direction you're moving, approaches you from behind,hits you in the tail, and speeds you up.Same definitions if you're in an airplane.

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.

What hits the ground first quarter or penny?
Depending on the angle that the coins are falling, if they are falling heads down, completely horizontal with the ground, the quarter has more air resistance then the penny, making the penny hit the ground first. If they are on their sides, so the head is completely vertical with the ground, they are both arrow dynamic and the quarter and the penny hit at the same time. as the acceleration of gravity is -9.8 m/s squared, thus making they fall at the same acceleration.
When a cup of water is dropped the water stays in the cup until it hits the ground?
