There are two cases, and all of these answers only address one of them:
The Earth is mostly as it is now, but a protected hole is formed through which you fall. This is the problem answered by most, but it does not appear to me to be what you asked. However, I would add that you would not be be able to fall straight because the Earth is turning, and you would eventually scrape the side of the hole at high speed and die.
The Earth has nothing inside. Well, maybe air so you can breathe, but essentially is hollow. In this case, at the surface, you would fall just as fast as you do now. But once “inside” you would just coast at a constant speed, possibly slowing down from air resistance. You would accelerate only as long as there was mass in a sphere “below” you. Aside from air resistance, you’d have just enough speed to reach the other side. Then you would go splat because you missed the exit hole as the Earth turned.
Either way, keep in mind the Earth is turning. It’s a killer.
hope it will help you ✨✨✨✌️✌️
