The coin will land exactly between your feet, or at whatever point

was exactly under it when you dropped it.

What will happen if you flip a coin in a high speed airplane and why?

Nothing unusual IF the airplane is flying level and at a constant speed. The coin will go up, flip, and come down as expected. However, if the airplane is accelerating...in ANY direction, the path of the coin will appear to be altered once it is in the air. For instance if the plane dives as the coin is thrown, the coin will appear to accelerate in the Upward direction.


When a coin is tossed in moving elevator?

When a coin is tossed in a moving elevator, its trajectory will be affected by both the acceleration of the elevator and gravity. If the elevator is moving upward, the coin will appear to fall back slightly behind the person who threw it. If the elevator is moving downward, the coin will land slightly ahead of the person who threw it.


How much force acts on a tossed coin when it is halfway to its maximum height How much force acts on it when it reaches its peak Neglect air resistance?

Neglecting air resistance, the force on the coin is constant, whether the coin is moving up, moving down, stopped at its peak, or lying on the ground. The force is the force of gravity attracting the coin to the center of the earth. The force is technically known as the coin's "weight". While the coin is in the air, that's the one and only force acting on it, and its magnitude doesn't change.


Is a carrom coin moving over the carrom board is a random motion or rectilinear motion?

The motion of a carrom coin over the carrom board is primarily rectilinear, as it moves in a straight line without significant deviation. However, due to factors like friction and imperfections on the board, there can be some random or unpredictable movements as well.


What force acts on the coin while it is moving downward?

Without context, one can only assume that gravity is exerting a force on any object that is moving downward. (Gravity is still exerting a force on a coin that is not moving, for example one stationary on a tabletop, but we don't spend a lot of time worrying about it.)

You are on a fast moving plane and you throw a coin up in the air but it lands in your lap and it doesnt fly behind you does anyone know why is this so?

This is because everything onboard the plane is moving at the same speed as the plane although it may not feel like it is. Therefore if the plane is moving at X meters per second then you and the coin are moving at this speed too. Speed is relative therefore the coin will move forward the same distance as you over the same period of time so the coin will never go beind you.

If you sit on a moving bus and toss a coin straight up into the air where will it land?

The coin is traveling at the same velocity as the tosser, so it will land the same as if you were standing still.

If you flip a coin does its speed ever become zero?

When the coin is at its highest, its speed becomes zero for a 100th of a second.


What are the release dates for Speed Coin - 1984 VG?

Speed Coin - 1984 VG was released on: USA: 1984


If you are on a moving train and you toss a coin where does the coin land?

This sounds like a joke question. If you toss a coin in a train, it lands in the train. If you toss it out the window, or otherwise off the train, it lands on whatever is out there. On the other hand, assuming this is not a joke, the coin will land where it would if you tossed it if the train were stationary. In other words, the coin is moving at the same velocity as the train before the coin toss, and since that part of its momentum is preserved through the toss, it will land, relative to the train, in the same place. This assumes, of course, that the train is not changing speed during the coin toss, that the windows are not admitting a wind, and so on.

How do you the second level in the worlds hardest game?

Don't go from left to right through the middle. The blue dots intersect there, leaving you no chance to dodge. Next, take note of the blue dot closest to you. As soon as it passes the middle and goes up (or down) towards the edges, move in the opposite direction of that blue dot, towards one of the corners of the rectangle the blue dots are moving in. Don't stop there, though. When the next blue dot in line moves up (or down) towards the middle, move right to the vertical line it's moving in. Keep progressing from left to right using this tactic. You have to collect that coin in the middle, however. When you are in line with the coin so that you can move straight up or straight down and collect it, "follow" the blue dot that's also in line with you, into the center. Now, without stopping, either get the coin and immediately move straight back to the edge you were on before (don't forget to move to the left or to the right to avoid the incoming blue dot), or keep moving up (or down), collect the coin, and move one square to the left or to the right while still moving in the same direction, and get on the opposite edge before you got the coin. Resume moving right at a steady pace, and get up or down towards the goal using the same strategy used to get the coin.


Is coin with straight cut on back worth anything?

Only if it's a silver coin will it have more than face value
