<h1>Myth: Dropping a Penny from a Skyscraper Can Kill Someone</h1>

While the idea of a penny dropped from a skyscraper might seem dangerous, it's actually a common misconception.

Here's why:

Terminal Velocity: A penny quickly reaches its terminal velocity, which is the maximum speed it can attain due to air resistance. This speed is relatively low, around 25-30 mph.
Impact Force: At this speed, the impact force of a penny isn't enough to cause serious injury or death. It might sting if it hits you, but it won't penetrate the skin or cause significant damage.

So, while it's not advisable to drop things from tall buildings, you don't need to worry about a falling penny causing harm.
