What Happens When You Drop A Penny Off The Empire State Building?

The video explores the myth of a penny dropped from the Empire State Building, examining the physics of falling objects, air resistance, and terminal velocity. It debunks the idea that a penny could cause significant harm due to its low terminal velocity and high air resistance. The video also discusses hypothetical scenarios without air resistance and concludes with a fun fact about the building.

What is terminal velocity and how does it relate to a penny?

Discuss the aerodynamic properties of a penny and how they affect its fall.

What would happen if a penny were dropped in a vacuum?
