Abstract

In this paper, we will discuss how massive the earth would have to be and how the terminal velocity of a penny would change, when dropped from the top of the Empire State Building would kill a passerby below. We found that to be true the earth would have to have a mass of 1x10^28 Kg and the penny must reach a terminal velocity of 490 ms^-1
