well...there are about 3 projects that i know of that can demonstrate the center of gravity but i only know how to do one of them. okay!! now before you start the project this is what you're going to need in order to accomoplish it:
2 tooth picks. it doesnt matter what type but you might want to use the pointy ones are better (you might to bring a few extra because there is a chance one of them may break
2 metal forks they have to be the same size
now that you have the materials lets get started!!->
Step 1. take both of the forks and take the prongs and put them together so that theyre locked in place.
Step 2. take one of the tooth picks and stick in the space made between the two forks. it has to be in the second space for both of the forks. make sure that the toothpick is locked in there. now it doesnt have to be totally perfect just make sure its in there well enough.
Step 3. get the second toothpick and have you or some one else hold it in your/there hand very steady. at least half of the toothpick must be visible while you are holding it in your fist or straight up in the air.
Step 4. when you are holding on to the toothpick in the froks make sure that is what you are holding on to-the toothpick. if you have done step 2 right you should be able to hold the toothpick without it falling out.
Step 5. place the tip of the toothpick that is between the twon forks on top of the other toothpick that you or someone else is holding. if you have done this right than the toohpick holding the forks should be able to stand on the toothpick being held alone.If you have completed the following steps with the correct results[:^!!BRAVO!!^:] GREAT JOB...if not than go to YouTube; there is a video of someone performing this exeripment

What the Combined center of gravity is formed by?
The center of gravity of the truck
Where does an object center of gravity always lie?
It is always different depending on the object. For example a female humans' center of gravity is in the hip. as a male humans' center of gravity is in the chest. But once you have found the center of gravity in an object the center of gravity should be the same in every object like it.
Does the center of mass of an object ever differ from the center of gravity?
The center of mass and center of gravity serve two separate purposes. As an individual, your center of gravity and center of mass remains the same. The earth has a center of mass. The moon has a center of mass. The moon does not orbit the earth. They orbit their center of gravity. Their center if gravity is always changing. It is not a fixed point. When an airplane takes off, its center of gravity is one place. As it burns fuel, its center of gravity changes. It might be necessary to change its attitude, which today is done automatically by computers. The computers are checked at the end of the flight by human beings.
Can an object have more than one center of gravity?
No, objects cannot have more than one center of gravity. The center of gravity of an object can however change.
What is center of gravity of a body?
The center of gravity is the theoretical point where all the body weight is concentrated or the theoretical point about which the body weight is evenly distributed. If a body is of uniform density and has a symmetrical shape the center of gravity is in the geometric center. If the object is not symmetrical and does not have uniform density, it is more difficult to describe the location of its center of gravity.
What are real life examples of center of gravity?
Everything around you that has mass is an example of center gravity. :)
What force are you demonstrating if you drop your book on the floor?
gravity
What are three real life examples of center of gravity?
a book falling, a person walking, and alot of things
What the Combined center of gravity is formed by?
The center of gravity of the truck
What Combined center of gravity is formed by?
The center of gravity of the truck
Is it impossible that the location of the center of gravity is in a point where there is no mass?
The center of gravity is an average of the location of the points of gravity. If you had a flying ring like a Frisbee but without the center, the center of the gravity would be in the hole.
What is center of gravity or mass?
the center of gravity is your step mom's BFF
How do you give a seminar on center of gravity?
important points about center of gravity
What is a basketballs gravity?
the center gravity
Is center of gravity lies where there is no mass?
That all depends on the shape of the object and how its mass is distributed. The center of gravity of a solid sphere is at the center of the solid sphere. The center of gravity of a solid cube is at the center of the solid cube. The Earth's center of gravity is at the center of the Earth, and there's certainly plenty of mass there. But the center of gravity of a ring is at the center of the ring ... an open space where the finger goes.
Where does an object center of gravity always lie?
It is always different depending on the object. For example a female humans' center of gravity is in the hip. as a male humans' center of gravity is in the chest. But once you have found the center of gravity in an object the center of gravity should be the same in every object like it.
Where does the center of gravity of the atmosphere of the earth lies?
Since the atmosphere is more or less symmetric, its center of mass (center of gravity) gravity must be quite close to Earth's center.
