If it was possible to drill a tunnel through the earth from one end to the other and jump into it, what would happen once we reach the core of the earth? Would we fall to the side, float motionless or what? Since gravity pulls you to the center, what would happen once we reached the center if jumping from either end of the tunnel will make you fall..... ?

Answer that......

no person has been taken care of for this Stacie, this is no longer the comparable because of the fact the easy flu the section outcomes could be similiar whether that's an entire distinctive strand of micro organism. And the undeniable fact that no-one has died yet over right here does no longer advise all and diverse wont , Mexico replace into hit first and it grew on some people for somewhat a while and has been growing to be till now they even knew that they had it. And Mexico has enormously good healthcare for the easy flu they have the comparable vaccines we've(none of which will handle this), beneficial they have their destructive areas yet so do we, all i'm asserting is it hasn't been right here long sufficient to coach the outcomes Mexico has been coping with.

Well I haven't answered it. Quick answer, assuming that everything is 'perfect' - hole complete (actually not possible), no air resistance etc: - is that you would accelerate all the way down to the centre, where your speed would be several miles per second, and continue onwards while decelerating, eventually reaching the surface of the earth (or very near it) where you will stop, and if you don't make arrangements to stay, start to fall back down the hole again.

The journey would take probably 40 mins or so each way.

So why would that make me wonder? I have given at least three different answer to the same old text book question over the past few months. I could give you another five which would be just as good, depending on which approximation you want.

Please search for the answers and do not waste people's time asking the same old thing again.

As salaamu 'alaikym, my confused friend.

Insha'Allah, due to the increased pressure caused by the mass of the Earth, the center would be exceedingly hot ( as in liquid rock and the pressure would also be such that one would not be able to breathe due to the temperature and the displacement of gasses, as well as there being little or no oxygen available.

To put it bluntly, you would die.

Too much science fiction will never be as educational as too much science fact.

Ma'a salaam.
