Describe the dirction in which soil and rocks particles to fall?

Things fall in the direction that we call "down". BTW, "down" may point in different "absolute" directions.


If you parachuted on the moon and earth which one will you fall faster on?

you will fall faster on the earth because earth has a higher gravity


Which way would you fall if you were in the center of the earth?

The force of gravity is zero at the earth's centre. So there would be no specific direction to fall. One interesting fact is that if evacuated tubes were drilled between any two cities on Earth, the travel time between any pair of cities would be 42 minutes! 21 min accelerating and 21 min decelerating. This time is constant whether the tubes went through the centre of the Earth or not. (Thanks Lewis Carroll.)


How long does it take for an average11-year-old to fall asleep?

It takes them about 20 minutes to fall asleep. I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!


If the earth was somehow cut in half can you fall of the edge of the one half of the earth that you're in?

No. Gravity would no longer be acting on you perpendicular to the earth's surface due to the Earth being only half a sphere, assuming the other half somehow vanished. As you approached the edge you would be pulled at a greater angle back towards the center of mass making the approach to the edge seem like an ever increasing upward slope, until you got over it and it would seem to be a downward slope, where you could presumably tumble until you reached the center. Joy.

Do all objects fall towards the center of the earth?

Yes, all objects on or near Earth's surface fall towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravity acting upon them. This is why objects dropped from a height fall downwards.

How long would it take to fall to the earth's core?

It is physically impossible to fall to the Earth's core due to extreme heat and pressure. If such a fall were possible, using theoretical calculations, it would take roughly 42 minutes to fall through a tunnel that extends through the Earth's center assuming no air resistance.


Do All objects fall toward the center of the earth.?

All objects on earth are pulled towards the center of the earth by gravity. The objects are pulled to the core(center of earth), but are not pulled through because of the normal force.

The free fall acceleration of an object under earth's gravity is directed where?

The free fall acceleration of an object under Earth's gravity is directed downward, towards the center of the Earth. This acceleration is constant at approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on the surface of the Earth.


What part of the Earth do objects fall toward?

Objects fall toward the center of the Earth due to the force of gravity pulling them downwards.


How many mph would you be going when you came out the other side if you fell in a whole that went all the way through the earth?

You wouldn't. Aside from the fact that you would burn up as you reached the earths core, you have to think of gravity.If you have a hole on one side of the earth and you fall in it you would fall to the center of the earth. If there was a hole on the exact opposite side of the earth and the fellow over there fell into it he would fall toward the center of the earth. If both holes went to the center of the earth and were joined, and molten magma didn't come out, then I would reason that you would fall no further than the center.


How long does is it take to go to the center of the earth?

It would take 120 years to go to the center of earth
