THE COIN DROP EXPERIMENT 2
1. SUBJECT OF THE EXPERIMENT
The Coin Drop Experiment
2. PURPOSE OF THE EXPERIMENT
The purpose of this experiment is to investigate and explain the principle behind the coin
drop experiment.
3. THEORY BEHIND THE COIN DROP EXPERIMENT
Gravity and inertia combine to neatly drop a penny (or a stack of pennies) into a glass.
Dropping a penny into an empty glass sounds ordinary and simple at first. The challenge is to
discover a creative and scientifically sound way to drop a penny into a glass. A variety of
ideas were tested and realized that Sir Isaac Newton had it locked up for years in his First
Law of Motion.
4. TOOLS REQUIRED FOR THE EXPERIMENT
• A card
• A glass
• A coin
5. PROCEDURE
i. Lay the card on top of the glass. Have one edge of the card a little beyond the rim so
you can give that edge a good flick without smacking your fingertip on the glass.
ii. Place a penny on top of the card so it’s centered over the glass.
iii. Use a finger to flick an edge of the notecard. You want to flick the card directly from
the side. (Don’t flick it downwards or upwards by hitting from above or below the card.)
