  2. Because of the air resistance

  3. because of the air resistance and how far and fast the penny is dropping it hits the ground hard

  4. When the penny reaches a certain point, it has reached terminal velocity, meaning it cannot gain anymore speed.

  6. something about terminal velocity

  7. Because of air resistance and wind slowing the penny down.

  8. When an object reaches a specific point, it reaches terminal velocity, it can't gain anymore speed.

  9. The penny will encounter air distance and slowing it down.Plus things can only go so fast as it is known as terminal velocity so then it will not be able to gain anymore speed.

  12. because of the air resistence

  13. the air resistance makes the coin slow down

  15. After an object gets at a certain point, it isn't able to gain more speed because of terminal velocity.

  16. It helps explain the effects of dropping a penny off the empire state building because the penny would quickly reach terminal velocity and would stop accelerating, so it wouldn't kill anyone!

  19. The terminal velocity shows that the penny will reach it's max speed. The penny's max speed is definitely not enough to kill someone.

  20. When a penny is dropped of of a high point it hits terminal velocity it stays at that speed.

  21. when the penny hits terminal velocity it cant go any faster.

  22. terminal velocity allows the penny to reach its to speed and stops it from getting any faster

  23. It makes it so the penny can only reach a top speed.

  24. If you dropped a penny off of the Empire State Building, then air resistance would act causing the penny to fall at a constant speed.

  25. If you drop a penny of the empire state building terminal velocity causes it to only reach a top speed.

  26. The terminal velocity helps explain the results of dropping the penny because it allows the penny to reach a certain speed and then stop and continue that speed.
