There was a myth going around that a penny could kill someone if it was thrown off the Empire State Building. When doing research it came to be that it wouldn't be possible for a penny to kill a person because of air resistance. Air resistance is very important when doing this experiment because air resistance slows it down and makes it lose velocity. In lab 5 we did a similar experiment relating to this topic but not as high as the penny was thrown from.
