The Problem

Originally posted by another user
There exists a spherical planet about the size of the Earth with a uniform density of 5000 kg/m³. A hole (negligible mass removed) is drilled through the diameter of the planet so that objects can be dropped and freely fall. A bowling ball is lowered into the hole to a height of 1,000,000 m above the center of the planet where it is released from rest. How far away is the ball from where it was released after 3 hours? (Assume the planet is completely at rest.)

I'm guessing the bowling ball is stuck at the centre? lol I didn't read any of this cause I didn't chose to study Physics in Australia, or whatever subject this is. The gravity of the Earth pulls everything down, that's why we don't fly away, the ball gets attracted and then stuck?
