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.
Do a penny has the greatest velocity?
An object falling through the air will have a terminal velocity of approximately 120-140mph. The less "wind resistance" it has the faster it goes. Although the penny has less wind resistance than say, an elephant, it still is not an ideal shape for moving through the air. Being flat, it can flutter, spin, 'float', etc, and that will slow it down.
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.
When you drop a penny what kind of motion does it have?
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.
A penny that was dropped hit the ground in 4.5 seconds what was the velocity of the penny?
The velocity of the penny when it hits the ground can be calculated using the formula: velocity = acceleration due to gravity x time taken to fall. The acceleration due to gravity is roughly 9.81 m/s^2. Therefore, the velocity of the penny when it hits the ground is 44.145 m/s.

When is terminal velocity good?
Based on two classes' worth of research on terminal velocity I'd say it's good for keeping some falling objects from reaching a speed that will, literally, be "terminal" (fatal) to whomever it hits. I was researching the myth behind whether or not a penny dropped off a tall building will kill some unlucky pedestrian below. All of my sources say it's impossible for said penny to do more than sting the person (barring them being hit in the eye or them somehow swallowing it), and the reason for this is terminal velocity.
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.
If a penny dropped from a high distance would it kill you?
If it dropped from a high enough distance, it would if its terminal velocity were higher than the speed necessary to kill a person. Since coins are small and more aerodynamic, the terminal velocity would be higher than a larger, flatter object, making it sort of like a bullet. The weight of a penny would be a function of it's acceleration. If the penny is still, that acceleration would be that of gravity, more or less 9,8 m/s.s or 1 G. You take the mass of a penny (in kg) and multiply it by the acceleration (in m/s.s) to get the weight in Newtons (which is force). So, a falling penny would be going 9,8 m/s faster every second before reaching its terminal velocity. The main point is the final velocity will be very high since it's a small and for all practical purposes, an aerodynamic object and therefore the kinetic energy will be very high as well. So will the force, which depends on the acceleration and the Work, which will be the very high transference of energy from the penny to somebody's head.

Can you use a penny to fit full your car battery terminal?
Yes, in an emergency, but you really need to replace the worn battery cable terminal.
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.
