How does weight of a body vary inside the earth?
People are (so far) not able to get very deep inside the Earth, so there is not that much variation, however, the closer you get to the center of the Earth, the less you would weigh. At the exact center you would be weightless.
Hottest part of earth?
on the surface i would say the area hovering near the equater. the inner core the center of the earth is the definite hottest why I don't know. I guess because when volcanoes erupt the lava is boiling hot. but nobody I ever heard of drilled to the center of the earth to prove that point.
What would happen if you drilled a hole in the Earth?
After about 20 miles, you would reach the mantle.
Why value of 'g' decreases when you go inside the earth?
Because the value of "g" varies directly with the sum of the masses of the two bodies acted upon by the force of gravity. If you go inside the earth, only part of the mass of the earth will be attracting you toward its center; the mass of the part of the earth that is farther from the center than you are will be attracting you away from the center. If it were possible to reach the center of the earth, the value of "g" would reach zero because the mass of the earth would be acting upon equally you in all directions.
Do objects become lighter as they get closer to the center of the earth?
Objects masses would not change, but the pull of gravity on an object from another object when the first is inside the other is effectively zero when the inside is at the center of mass of the outer. If the Earth were a thick walled but hollow sphere, objects would stick (weakly) to the inside surface as well as the outer.
If you jumped down a hole drilled directly through the earth theoretically would your velocity take you past the center of the earth?
I'll make this simple, basically what would happen is that you would keep falling through the center of the earth. You would momentarily stop at the other side of the earth at the same height you jumped into the hole. Then you would fall back into the hole repeating the process indefinitely.
Is the center of mass between Earth and the sun exactly half way between the two?
Yes, the center of mass for the earth-sun orbit lies inside the sun. This is the barycenter, by the way. And because the sun is so massive relative to earth, the barycenter of earth's orbit about our local star is not that far from the center of the sun and is actually inside of it.
What is the weight of the body at the center of the earth?
In theory, at the center of the Earth you would have no weight.
How fast does it take to get to the center of the earth?
It would take one hour to get to the center of the earth
What is the value of Earth's gravitational field at the center of the Earth?
In the cavity at the center of the Earth, your weight would be zero, because you would be pulled equally by gravity in all directions. - The gravitational field of Earth at its center is zero.
Why would a person be unable to dig a tunnel all the way through the middle of earth?
No One Can't Dig A Tunnel In The Middle Of The Earth Because The Tempature Inside Earth Gets Hotter As You Go Deeper. It Is Around 9000F (5000C) In The Center. It Is So Hot Inside Earth That Rocks Melt.
If you drilled a hole straight through the earth and dropped a bowling ball down the hole would the ball come to rest at the center?
The ball will NOT come to rest. It will oscillate around the center of the earth in simple harmonic motion. Incorrect. the ball will rapidly reach a terminal velocity ( maximum speed given the resistance of the air). as the ball gets closer to the center of the earth it will slow down as the force pulling the ball towards the earth it has already passed through becomes closer to the force of the earth the ball has not yet passed. Upon reaching the center of the earth. the bal will minimal , and for a short time, oscillate until rapidly coming to rest at the center of gravity.
