Penny Drop

Open Ended

What happened to the coin when the playing card/index card was flicked? Why?

Type response here

COIN DROP - Background Info

In the coin drop the penny is at rest sitting on top of the card. Watch it as long as you like, but on its own the penny will not move from that spot
When you flick the card out from under the penny, you allow gravity to at on it - dropping it into the glass
The coin also experiences inertia - meaning it really wants to stay in one place. If you move the card slowly, it isn't fast enough to overcome that force.

Open Ended

How does the coin you use make a difference in the experiment? Or does it?

Type response here

Open Ended

Why doesn't the coin fly off to the side with the index card once the card has been flicked?

Type response here

Open Ended
