If you just fall for 24 hours how are you gonna survive.

I'd take a big bottle of water with me. Ya gotta stay hydrated!

You realize its kinda hard to drink water while falling at a speed that could potentially reach Mach level kinda hard right? Even if it spills, at least you're watering the plants :)

Ah, terminal velocity. Depends on whether the hole is a vacuum or has oxygen. You had better hope it’s the latter.

Lets just say a its like a skydive and it went straight down with no curves. Due to aerodynamics and stuff, you will curve but this is hypothetical. The place will have oxygen though so I guess it is a reliever

If it has oxygen I don’t think you could reach mach level. Good thing for staying hydrated.

Just remember to periodically yell out the phrase "So far, so good!"

Im pretty sure it could. a 4-5 minute free fall from, lets say stratosphere, could in theory reach mach 1. If Earth did have enough for a 24 hour free fall and the gravity the same, you could exceed mach 1. If we are talking about minor time falling then it is impossible to reach mach 1 but we're talking about a 24 hour free fall. It doesn't matter if it had oxygen or not. If I am wrong then please correct me.

From Britannica:
“Terminal velocity is the constant speed an object reaches when the downward force of gravity is balanced by the upward drag force from the fluid it is falling through.
Definition and Concept
Terminal velocity occurs when a falling object no longer accelerates because the net force acting on it is zero. Initially, an object dropped from rest accelerates due to gravity. As its speed increases, the air resistance (or drag force) also increases, eventually matching the gravitational force. At this point, the object continues to fall at a constant speed, known as terminal velocity, with zero acceleration.”
That would mean it stops speeding up and just falls at constant rate, that being around 92 meters a second.
