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

If a penny hits the ground in 4.5 seconds what would the pennys velocity as it hits the ground?

The velocity of the penny as it hits the ground can be calculated using the equation: velocity = distance/time. Assuming the penny falls vertically, if we take the distance it falls to be 9.8 m/s^2 x (4.5 s)^2 / 2 ≈ 99.22 meters and the time is 4.5 seconds, the velocity would be 99.22 meters / 4.5 seconds = 22.04 m/s.


How much time does a passerby on the sidewalk below have to move out of the way before the penny hits the ground?

A penny dropped from the top of a skyscraper would reach the ground in approximately 9.2 seconds. A passerby on the sidewalk below would have less than 9 seconds to move out of the way once they see the penny falling.


As a dropped penny falls toward the ground energy is converted to energy?

As a dropped penny falls toward the ground, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. The higher the penny is dropped from, the more potential energy it has, which is converted into kinetic energy as it accelerates downwards due to gravity.


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.


How fast is terminal velocity for a penny if it is in a vacuum?

If the penny is in a vaccum, the penny has no terminal velocity because verminal velocity is when the resistance against the falling penny is equal to the force of gravity. So if it is in a vaccum, it has no forces resisting the fall, and it has no terminal velocity.

If ramon is stnading on a balcony that is 112 feet above the ground and he throws a penny straight down with a vertical velocity of 96 feet per second how long will it take to hit the ground?

112/96 = 1. 16666-seconds

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.


What would happen if you dropped a penny off the Empire State Building and it made it to the ground?

If you drop a penny off the Empire State Building, it falls at its own terminal velocity after falling about 200+ metres (that's a guess but it's around 200). A penny's terminal velocity is roughly half of a falling person's terminal velocity. A falling skydiver will reach a maximum of around 130mph, so a penny will fall at approximately 65mph.


Would a bowling ball and a penny hit the ground at the same time if dropped from an equal height?

Yes

What is the kinetic energy of a 2.512 gram penny is dropped from a height of 16.76 m the instant it strikes the ground?

The kinetic energy of the penny can be calculated using the formula: KE = 0.5 * m * v^2, where m is the mass and v is the velocity. First, calculate the velocity using the height dropped formula: v = sqrt(2 * g * h), where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Then, substitute the values to find the kinetic energy.
