It means more or less the same as "center of mass" (there is a slight technical difference, which is not relevant for most cases). That would be a kind of "average position" of an object (technical note: this is a "weighted average", weighted by mass, and distance). If an object is hung up by its center of gravity, it would be perfectly balanced.
What else can I help you with?
Does the position of the Metacentre depend on the position of the centre of gravity?
Yes, the position of the Metacentre depends on the position of the centre of gravity. If the centre of gravity is above the Metacentre, the ship will be stable. If the centre of gravity is below the Metacentre, the ship will be unstable.
Does the centre of gravity change on moon?
As compared to Earth, you mean? If an object doesn't change its shape, the center of mass doesn't depend on gravity - and the center of gravity hardly does so.
Why is suns gravity only in the perimeter?
It isn't. Gravity can be viewed as emanating from the centre of a body with mass. As the distance increases from the centre then the gravity decreases.
What does m-s mean in this phrase-downward gravity field of 10 m-s2?
m/s2 means metres per second squared and it means gravity is the accelation of a body towards the centre of the earth.
What is force is gravity?
gravity is a force by which objects are attracted to the centre of.
What term means that a plant grows to gravity?
The way a plant grows or bends due to gravity is called geotropism.
What is the center of gravity on a sphere?
Assuming the ball is a perfect sphere of uniform density, and is suspended from a massless string, the centre of gravity is in the centre of the ball.
What lies at the centre of gravity and earth?
The Earth's Core lies at the centre.
How do you find center of gravity of a vehicle?
How do you find centre of gravity of a vehicle?
Name three ways to make a tower more stable without changing the size by using the term centre of gravity?
Lower the centre of gravity by adding weight at the base of the tower. Increase the width of the base to spread out the weight and lower the center of gravity. Ensure the center of gravity is directly above the base by adjusting the distribution of weight within the tower.
Where is the earths gravity the greatest?
At the centre of the Earth.
What is the direction of the moon's gravity?
Towards the moon's centre.
