Would he land on his feet, or on his head because its the other side.

He wouldn't make it out, he'd eventually settle at the core.

well if there's no core then all the mass is gone and with it the gravity

so depending on initial he'd just float or come out the other end and keep going

I'm not going to talk about gravity or the core. I'm just going to assume that he will make it out the other side.

I'd say he would be on his head. If we drop an object normally, the heaviest part of it goes first. Like a badminton shuttle. So he jumps in feet first, and as he's falling turns to be head first. He will stay like this as he flies past the center and land on the other side on his feet.

read the pic
there's no core

>>8720098
I accidentally said head and also feet. I mean he would and on his feet.

Then he'd settle in the middle, where the core would be. Once he reaches Earth's center, gravity is pushing on him with equal force in all directions.

Two problems:
1: Air friction would slow him down during the whole trip. If there was no air, then he could potentially make it to the other side, but if there is even the tiniest amount of friction he will slow, and end up slinging back and forth and then settling in the center of the Earth

2: Unless the tube was perfectly between the two rotational poles of the Earth, then the Coriolis Effect would cause the person to ram against the side of the tube repeatedly, grinding them into dust. In even a 1 mile vertical shaft the coriolis effect is massive. At the very least, the coriolis effect would cause the jumping person to rotate a lot

Don't switch to female pronouns, you ass
Masculine is gender neutral in English
Moreover, it was repeatedly stipulated that it was a man.

If you got that much problem with gendered pronouns, use 'they'
and if your problem is not with pronouns but with the male gender as a whole, kill yourself.

what if he got a sex change on his way through the earth's core, shitlord

But masculinity is gross desu

This, god damn. It has nothing to do with muh sexism, he's just trying to stir shit up and knows it.

Or it's a girl baiting to be referred to as "he" so "she" can attention whore

Lets assume that he didn't rotate as he fell straight through the planet, that he didn't experience any frictional forces, that he is a uniform sphere, and that he didn't burn up. If all of this happened, then he would emerge from the other side of the planet with exactly zero velocity and with his head pointed towards the ground.

Why? Because gravity is a conservative force, and it will just translate his position. It's not going to impart any rotation on him.
