if you have a large complex object, like a jar full of different size coins, but know its center of mass then you can make a simplification of the jar to a point of mass at the center of gravity. A point is much simpler to physics on than a whole jar of different coins. in this case it doesn't matter what the object is made of.

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThe center of gravity is important for several reasons. Objects maintain a balance due to center of gravity. It is also important for flying objects like air craft.

∙ 11y agoThe centre of gravity is the point through which one's whole weight acts for any orientation of the object. Without it you will lose balance.

What is the meaning and importance of 'center of gravity' or 'center of mass'?
to keep the balance of the aircraft during the flight ..not sue
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.

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 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.
What can be said about the force of earths gravity pulling on the books?
Earths gravity acts on everything from its center of gravity to everything else's center of gravity.
