Terminal velocity can be calculated to an extent. To get an exact
answer is difficult if not impossible due to
the many variables involved including those that are unpredictable such
as weather and wind. In fact, since the
skyscraper is so high up, it will most likely suck the penny back into
one of the lower levels, and the penny will never reach the ground. If
by chance the penny was able to miraculously reach the ground, the
Mythbusters demonstrated in their 2003 season, episode 4, that even if
a penny is shot from a gun, it still will not pick up enough velocity
or power to penetrate through the human skull (9). Therefore: dropping
a
penny
off of a high building will not kill somebody. In conclusion: operation
penny drop is futile and you may want to invest in assassination
techniques of some other type, such as the ones depicted below.
