What is in the center of gravity?

The centre of gravity is the point trough which the whole weight of the object seems to act.


Why the center of pressure of a submerged body lies below the center of gravity?

The upward thrust which the surrounding fluid exerts on an object is referred to as the force of buoyancy. This thrust acts through the centroid of the displaced volume, referred to as the centre of buoyancy. The centre of buoyancy is not the same as the centre of gravity which relates to the distribution of weight within the object. If the object is a solid with a uniform density exactly the same as water and the body is immersed in water the force of buoyancy will be exactly equal to the weight and the centre of buoyancy will be the same as the centre of gravity. The object will be in equilibrium with the surrounding fluid.


What happens to the buoyant force is greater than its weight?

If the buoyant force is greater than the weight of an object than the object will accelerate (assuming there are no other forces acting on the object)


What happens when an object falls to the ground?

Its weight causes it to accelerate. That is in simple terms. When an object falls to the ground, it still has mass, it still has weight, and it has constant forces acting upon it, such as gravity.


What happens when you add more weight to a spring?

Depending on how you have it rigged up, the spring will either extend, compress, or sag farther than it did with less weight. Gravity is a big part of the reason for that response.

What happens to weight on the moon?

Nothing happens to the weight of an object on the moon. It remains constant, at about 16% of what the same object weighs when it's on the Earth.


What are the 3 factors of weight?

The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.The mass of the object, the mass of the object that is attracting it and the distance between their centres of gravity.So your weight on the moon will depend on your mass, the moon's mass and the distance from your centre of gravity to the moon's.


What happens when the weight of an object is greater than its buoyant force?

The object sinks.


Why do an object weight less at the equator then at the poles?

less gravity pull farther away from central pole


Is weight higher at higher altitudes?

No, it's the other way round. The farther you go away from Earth, the lower the weight of a given object will be.

What happens when the water around objects have a force greater than the object's weight?

The water around floating object's is a measure of that object's "Displacement". For the object to float the weight of displacement must equal the object's weight. If the water around an object is of a greater weight than an object's displacement, then the object will sink.


Where does a body have least weight equator or earth centre?

In the middle of the earth is where an object has the lightest weight. The weight is zero. The reason is that the mass of the object is pulled equally in all directions so all the forces cancel out.
