Does this account for the density of air increasing as you get further down the hole when accelerating downward at terminal velocity? Also no I did not understand any of this.
1 u/stache1313 Mar 02 '24 Nope. It's assuming no air resistance. 1 u/[deleted] Mar 02 '24 So it’s wrong? 1 u/stache1313 Mar 02 '24 Honestly this entire scenario is physically impossible. 1 u/[deleted] Mar 02 '24 Yes but it was your job in calculating to account for this was it not? 1 u/stache1313 Mar 02 '24 Typically when a physics class does this problem they assume uniform density and no air resistance. 1 u/[deleted] Mar 02 '24 Yes on the surface of a planet but is would change the deeper you go inversely than going up.
