How deep will I go into the ocean if I were to freefall into it?

You'd collide with the surface at Stokesian speed (the constant speed of an object falling through an atmosphere, depending on the object's surface-to-mass ratio and its aerodynamics. Thus, a lot of variables still are unclear to determine your impact speed. Do you speed-dive, or do you spread out as much as you can? Do you wear slick or baggy clothing?\n\nImpact angle and shape also play a role. If you manage to glide in at an angle, you might even bounce off.\n\nIn either case, survival chances probably are minimal because the change in speed will easily pull lots of G, smashing the brain against the skull.

The deepest part of the ocean is the Mariana Trench in the South Pacific Ocean. The depth of the ocean here is about 35, 839 feet (10,927 meters).

you can go until you hit water

Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench is the deepest point in the ocean. Measurements varying from 35,797 to 35,838 feet have been taken.

At sea level, the pressure the air exerts downward is at 1 atmosphere (normally).  If you decend 32 feet below water, the water pressure acting on you is 1 atmosphere as well, even greater as you go deeper.\n\nWhen you try to suck air down underwater, the water is trying to push it back up.  At some point, you just wont have enough "sucking power" to over come the weight of the water.

assuming that you could do it and you didnt die and all that, you would go through to the other side.  if you include air resistance, you wouldnt make it to the other side, you would accelarate until you reached the center of the earth or until you reached terminal velocity, then you would start slowing down after you passed the center.  you would then start falling back toward the center in the opposite direction, passing it again, you would oscillate back and forth like this, losing some distance from center on each pass, eventually you would come to rest at the center

your body will float, but with sufficient wave action you still might drown since you cannot breathe water.

It mostly depends on the direction the meteor comes from and how fast it was before entering Earths atmosphere (although because of resistance of air the speed cannot exeed a certain velocity - I'd say >1000 miles per hour - before it breaks up into pieces), then it depends on where it hits the surface of the ocean ( if it's next to you - not as bad as 5 miles offshore )\nso to say the deeper the water is the more likely is a tsunami\n\nUnderwater earthquakes are even harder .... It depends on the force of the Earthquake, it's epicentrum and then of course how deep the water is....\n\n\nbut to take likely figures I'd say the meteor should have 1 mile diameter to destroy the west coast - or at least a part of it\nthen the earthquake mush be somewhere around 6 to 7 on Richter scala\n\n\nwhy do you ask - are you on a apocalyptical trip, if so you've forgotten about the supervolcano in Yellowstone

Please.  Your lungs can not be down as much as 3 feet I believe, or the air would be forced out of your lungs.  Now if you snorkel at normal depth, you can hold your breath and go down as far as you can make it.  But you can't breath continuously unless the air is being pumped.  Your head will not collapse, it's filled with liquid which doesn't compress.

A 15 foot dive would be safe, people do that all the time off a 5 metre high dive platform. What isn't safe is floating the 15 foot ladder on a raft with a platform bolted on the top for a kid to climb. You'd need a wide raft to balance out the weight of the platform combined with the weigh of the kid standing on the edge of the platform to jump. The weigh combined would unbalance everything tilting the kid and platform dangerously forward and when the kid jumped the raft, ladder and platform would rock dangerously and could tip over.\n\nTo do that safely you'd need something more stable to attach it to and deep enough water underneath to safely jump into. Around 10 to 15 foot depth. Unless you have a solid dock you could bolt a diving platform to I'd say you couldn't do this safely.\n\nYou could bolt a standard pool spring board to a floating raft if you wanted something they could dive from into the water. At least that would be a lot safer and less risk of killing a kid.

Anyone can just plunge into a dive, but if you get with the motion of the ocean, you can't get hurt.

well, the deepest trench on the earth is 11,034 meters (about 30K feet).. I imagine the abyss being /infinitely/ deep.

You'll have to get there on the ground or flying. You won't be able to procede by sea.

The number one thing.\n\nGo where you can stand about waist deep.  Get used to putting your head/face under water while you are totally safe. As you get used to it hold your head under for like 30 seconds at a time.\n\nWater is dangerous.  It is scary.  Try to get comfortable being in shallow water first.

i'm assuming that you are ralking bout a hole being drilled right thru the earth and somebody falling into it...............you would accelerate and move towards the center and reach the opposite end of earth, at which point your velocity will reduce to zero and you will again move back to the cetre of earth and then onto the starting place.............in simple words you would execute Simple Harmonic Motion(SHM)

590 ft out of a gondola in Switzerland and 100 or so in California.  If you enjoyed bungee save up some change and go sky diving.  It's a rush you will never forget.

you would probably suffocate from the high altitute b-cuz there isnt much oxygen up there.
