if i dug thorough the earths core to the other side of Asia could i fall so fast that i reach the other side?

Answer 1

If your tunnel was a vacuum, yes.

If your tunnel was not a vacuum, or you scraped the sides as you fell, then no.

Simple as that.

Answer 2

at the center of a sphere ( in this case the earth), the gravitational force is actually zero! this is the same with elctric force inside a uniformly charged sphere.
u can understand this by imagining that for every part of the earth pulling u from left, there is a part mirrored pulling you, i.e from right, with the same force. The forces cancel each other out due to symmetry!
For any other point inside the earth, the force of gravity is effectively only from the spherical portion of the earth on whose surface the point lies. thus the force actually decreases as u go deeper and deeper till at the center it is zero.

i am not going to prove it, but If u were able to dig to the other end and jumped into one end, u'd be oscillating like a spring end to end forever. that's a joyride! study simple harmonic motion for details.

Answer 3

you cannot DIG a hole because the earth core is 5000 C degrees plus even if you were superman and had the pwer to do sth. like that you mess with the world ecological system which would result in a catabolismic crash of worlds eco-system. Moreover, you die before going so deep the pressure would obliterate you to your molecules. You would not be able to breath & the before even reaching the 11th mile of the earth's core you would die of speed! sorry!!! I hope this answered your question! Good luck, dont dig to deep though!!

Answer 4

as u know.. the value of 'g' increases as we reach the earths core, when u reach the centre .. u'l wont stop there , u'l still go due to inertia.. and u'l stop somewhere and return back in the same path.. and this motion takes place for years together.. the path u travel is oscillatory ... im very sure of this, dont beleive in others... but dont ever experiment this.. the temp at the core is very high and it is such hot where even metals are found in liquid state

Answer 5

No. I fact you'd drop "down" past the centre of the Earth but start slowing down until eventually you'll return past the centre of the Earth in the opposite direction with an oscillating to-and-fro motion.

Answer 6

Nope. even if u dug a hole and jumped into it, you may stay at a spot right in the middle where the gravitational center of the earth is. if u are not sure, check about gravitational force.

Answer 7

You would get stuck in the center because of gravity.
And before you get to the center you would be stopped by the water.
