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.

∙ 13y agoIf you dug a hole from one end of the earth through the middle and out the other side, then jumped down it you would be accelerated until you reached terminal velocity (because the hole would fill with air) which is 55 m/s. When you pass the center you would now be pulled in the opposite direction but still with the same force. Just under 2.37 seconds after you pass the center you would stop moving and begin to fall back towards the center. As you pass the center again you would begin to be pulled towards it again and this would continue forever.

What is difference between discharge velocity and seepage velocity?
discharge velocity is the quantity of flow that flows through a unit cross sectional area of the soil in a unit time discharge velocity is used to determine the quantity of flow through soil seepage velocity the actual rate of movement of the water as measured with dye tracer for instance, is the seepage velocity
What is wave velocity and particle velocity?
The speed the wave is traveling through space
Does light pass through foil?
Not directly through, but it is easily ripped.
Which meduim is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?
The velocity of sound is the highest when travelling through a solid. Sound travels fastes in a solid, then in a liquid, and slowest through a gas.
Can you write me a sentence with the word velocity in the sentence?
The cars speeded through the Raceway at a velocity in excess of 200 mi./h
Many people get their water from groundwater through wells that have been drilled into the?
Into the aquifer
What happens where cables have to pass through a wooden joist?
Nothing happens. A hole is drilled through the joist and the wire is pulled through it.
Why isn't well water muddy?
When the well is drilled, it is dug or drilled through the water-sand, and as the water flows into the well from the sand, it is cleaned by the sand, which acts as a filter.
The ray passing through of the lens is undeviated?
Theoretically is undeviated.
What is the velocity of the blood as it flows through the capillaries?
The average velocity of the blood as it flows through a capillary is 0.00047 m/s.
If you jumped down a hole drilled directly through the earth from London where would you end up?
Assuming that you could actually make such a journey, you would come out in the Pacific Ocean, just south east of the Antipodes (formerly Penantipodes) Islands.
Can you put drop through trucks on a regular board as in like drop through on an original board where 4 holes are drilled?
yes
What layer of the earth have humans drilled into the earth?
Humans have never drilled past the crust into the mantle. We have, however, seen the mantle through "hot spots" like volcanoes where the mantle is closer to the surface.

What is a minimum plain bore sprocket?
A minimum plain bore sprocket is a roller chain sprocket with a hole drilled through the center. A finished bore sprocket is a roller chain sprocket with a hole drilled through the center augmented by either a keyway or set screws.
What is wave velocity and particle velocity?
The speed the wave is traveling through space
Explain how distance time and velocity are related to each other?
They are related through the formula distance = time x velocity (assuming constant velocity).
