Question:

How would you die if you fell down a hole to the centre of the earth? From the heat, G-forces or the landing?

The increasing heat of going deeper into the earth's core, the heat also from the friction caused by how fast you'd be going. The G-forces you'd be enduring while plummeting down. Or from the eventual landing if you make it that far which would definitely kill you.

  1. heat would do it. Fairly quickly. You would never reach the center.

    There are no G forces, except that caused by wind resistance, as you are free-falling.

    .


  2. Realistically  you would probably die from the heat and definitely not from the landing because it's all molten rock down there. You could also die from gravity indirectly. You could melt due to the high speed you would be travelling at and friction. But if you eliminated these two facts you would probably die from exploding when you reached the centre of the earth as it would be just like space, where there's no atmospheric pressure acting on you!

  3. The g-force decreases as you going down, so if you can survive the g-force on earths surface, you will probably survive in the hole.

    The heat increases rapidly as you descending.

    The inner core may have a temperature up to about 13,000°F (7,200°C = 7,500 K), which is hotter than the surface of the Sun.

    No one can make it to the center.

    So I think that HEAT will kill you.

  4. I would say heating since temperature increases quickly when yo fall in a very deep hole. I would discard g-forces , you would surely die from heat before they are enough important

  5. A heart attack on the way down would do me in !
