A Curious Question From the Philadelphia Brnuaker
The article outlines a thought experiment about dropping a cannon ball through a hole through the earth. It explains the ball would return to its start in about one hour and twenty minutes, passing the center at five miles per second, then rise to the surface on the far side and repeat, assuming no air resistance and gravity as the sole force. It discusses pendulum-like motion, momentum, and the ellipical path possible if struck differently, all within a whimsical exploration of physics.
