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.

Who believed the earth was a sphere and that you wouldn't fall off the edge?
hell yea
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
What is the difference between experience and knowledge?
At school you can learn about the force of gravity and how it pulls things towards the center of the Earth. This is "knowledge".When you are out walking and fall over the edge of a cliff and hurt yourself, this is "experience" of gravity.Thus knowledge is stuff you know about; experience is stuff you have lived through.
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.
How did watching an apple fall from a tree lead newton to his hypothesis about gravity?
The falling apple helped Newton to understand the law of gravitational attraction between masses. The apple did not fall up, it did not fall sideways, it fell toward the earth. Newton could see a universal law in the fall of the local apple. The fall of the apple confirmed his ideas of why the earth orbited around the sun, etc.
Why can't you fall of the edge surface of earth?
why cant you fall of the edge surface of the earth
Can you fall off the edge off the world?
No, you cannot fall off the edge of the world. The Earth is a sphere, so there is no physical edge to fall off.
Assuming that the earth was somehow split in half can you fall off the edge of the one half of the earth?
Hopefully, this is a thought experiment! It is gravitational attraction that keeps objects "stuck" to the Earth, so if the Earth split into half, you would still be attracted to it - although by half as much (as the mass of the Earth would have been halved). So you still couldn't fall off.
Who believed the earth was a sphere and that you wouldn't fall off the edge?
hell yea
Why is the Earth round and why can't it be square shaped?
because if it was square we would be able to fall of the edge of the earth and we would have ran out of water ages ago!!
What did the European believe of the shape of the earth?
They believed it was like a giant plane, and that if you went too far toward the horizon you would fall off the edge of the earth.
How do you know that the earth is spherical and not flat?
Because people have seen it from space and anyway if the Earth was flat all the water would fall of the edge so then we would not survive
If Mar's were somehow positioned into the same orbit as Earth's. How would it's time to circle the Sun compare with Earth's?
The speed and the orbital distance are directly related. If Mars were in Earth's orbit, it would either move with the same speed that the Earth does, or it would fall into the Sun.
Can you fall of the earth?
No, you can not fall of the Earth.
Can you sleep at your restaurant?
no because if you fall asleep on youre food everybody will stair
Will your breast implants fall out when skydiving?
yes, however they do not fall out. Due to pressure, the implants cause youre breasts to explode
