Nothing
Because the nickel had more cents (sense)?
When you drop a penny, it undergoes free fall motion, accelerating due to gravity until it reaches terminal velocity. There is no horizontal motion involved, and the speed of the penny increases as it falls.
As the penny falls toward the ground, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position or shape, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
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.
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.
It falls down. When it reaches a hard bottom it is likely to bounce whereas if it hits water it will sink.
You pass a penny.You pass a penny.
It will clean the penny. :)
An apple falls faster than a penny. The penny's flat surface creates more wind resistance than the round apple. And as Galileo observed, it depends on wind resistance, not weight.
A very clean penny
Her name is Penny
the Clorox makes the penny erode and change colors.
he is in the tree
its pops
Measuring the inertia of a penny can be done by equation or experiment. The experiment is as simple as placing the penny on a piece of cardboard on top of a cup. Flick the cardboard, which will move, and the penny just falls into the cup.
it ruins the copper in the penny and turns it white.
It seems if the penny were real lucky, you wouldn't have to ask.
