Abstract

This paper applies initial conditions to a coin by using classical mechanics to determine the outcome of a coin flip. If a 2p coin is flipped 0.5 meters with a total energy of 0.17 J, then the coin will always land on the opposite face up.This paper highlights how the uncertainty of a coin can diminish.
