I would probably start singing an opera song or something but I agree with bruenor I would just mess around take a nap etc......If its bottomless, I'd probably take a nap... Spit a few times... Throw a rock down and see if I ever catch it.. Throw a rock up and do the same thing..
I'd get bored fast :P -

32 feet per second per second is surface pull. If you are in the Earth, pull diminishes as you approach the center.

9.8m/s is the speed of gravity. But since you're falling it's -9.8m/s. To find his speed there is an equation but I forget itᏩཞ།ཀཀ wrote:

You can only fall so fast. The speed doesn't increase the longer you fall. I can't remember the exact mph. But it's called terminal velocity.You would die. You would end up at such a high speed you would be torn to pieces. Logic

1) oh crap, I fell in some sorta pit...and I am falling...aiiieeee
2) oh crap, I am falling really fast...I'm gonna die :-(
3) uhh, uhh, gasp hard time breathing, I'm going to pass out...
4) well, the end must be near, going to hit something really hard...I hope my family knows how much I love them
5) hmm...still falling
6) it is like there is no bottom
7) feels like I have been falling forever
8) if I pee, does it go up...cool
9) damn I'm getting hungry

😳omg we've all forgotten a major effect of falling into the earth..
The pendulum effect.
We'd start bouncing off the walls at 126mph and be buffeted into pieces.As the earth moves around us, eventually the walls would get closer and closer in our free fall till we hit them

I'm always shocked that people are willing to argue when they have no idea what they are saying.
I POSTED A LINK TO THE EXPLANATION A PAGE AGO.
Gravity does not pull toward the center of the Earth. Gravity pulls toward mass. If you are in the middle, it pulls outward from every direction, canceling itself out.
As you fall in, acceleration reduces to zero and goes negative as you pass the center.
Good grief.

Ꮤhoa, no. Gravity is pulling us to the CORE of the earth. When you dig a hole, gravity doesn't magically reduce. If what you're saying is true, if I go down into a basement, I'll weigh less.What the hell?

Ah, just looked back in the 'ole book...By the equation shown in here, the gravity slightly decreases gradually as you go down and as you go further up. So I was incorrect clearly. Hmm, but a bottomless pit? It would have to be in space to fit; not the earth. Unless it was like Portal...In which case, you would be torn to shreds by the speed. There is no gravity in space except on planets and certain asteroids, so you would not be "falling". It would have to be a vacuum in space. Gravity would have nothing to do in the equation.Brown🎵Note😲 wrote:

It is funny that everyone forgot this is would be soo dark u wouldn't be able to see your hand in front of your face there is no light there at all

Maybe I wasn't clear, the further one is from the center of gravity, the less gravitational pull that object has on the individual.
This is represented by the formula F=g(m1*m2)/r^2
Where F= gravitational force
g=the gravitational constant
M1 equals the mass of object 1
M2 equals the mass of object 2
R=the radius or distance between the two objects center of mass -

No. See statement about skydiver predicted to hit Mach 1.No, the terminal velocity would be when the resistance falling through air, Dv^2 equals mg, where D=0.25kg/m for a skydiver falling through air.

The calculation is correct. This is the highest speed a skydiver will have in spread eagle position during the fall before opening the parachute. But as the velocity depends on the shape of the falling object, D in the equation will change if the skydiver go head first with arms to his body. Kittinger has the record of 274m/s (reliable) or >300m/s in more unreliable measurements.
But this is in air, valid for an ordinary skydiver. -

Density is constant?

No, a skydiver jump off att approximately 3000m. In the term D you include the boyancy due to the media a body is falling through, air or water or...
So if you jump into a "bottomless" pit at surface, you might assume that the initial gravity would accelerate you to a speed around 40-60m/s depending on your weight. But the gravitational force acting on you is directly proportional to the distance from the center.But it was bottomless, yes I know and it was just a blah blah what if thread. That's why I needed to be nerdish.
