I have always been curious about what would happen to the gravity at the center of the earth. After some googling I found some neat stuff. So IF it was possible to endure the heat and pressure to get there (impossible) it would feel weightless. So that answered my question but then I read it would only take 42 minutes to drop something and have it come out the other side, then of course fall back.
Now the other part comes when I hear since the moon is cold and frozen so a tunnel would be more possible than Earth (still almost impossible). So the question I had was since the moons diameter is smaller than earth, but the gravity is less how long would it take for an object to make to the other opening of the tunnel before falling back.
Gravity: 1.63 m/s^2
Diameter: 3476 KM
I have had very little physics but and even less calculus in my background. Any help on where to start with this?
