The center of gravity is the point at which your gravity attracts others, and others are attracted to you. This makes it your point of balance since balance is relative to the center of gravity of the object you're balancing upon. A bike for example, has it's center of gravity at it's exact middle, and you have your center of gravity at your exact middle, and as long as you can keep all of them directly on top of each other as you ride, you'll stay upright.

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 gravity always lies on the body?
No. For example, a ring has a center of gravity in the center of the ring, not on any part of the ring.
Does the center of gravity of a solid body always lie within the body?
The center of gravity of a solid body does not always lie within the body. An example of this is a hula hoop. The center of gravity does not lie on the hoop that rotates.
What statement about Gravity is always true?
Objects will always be pulled to the center of the mass.
Where is the center of gravity in the five positions of the feet in ballet?
In ballet, he center of gravity should always be in the middle of your body, no matter what you are doing.
Does the center of gravity always have to be located withing an object?
No. The center of gravity of a wedding ring is in the space at the center of the ring. The center of gravity of the letter ' V ' is somewhere along the vertical line between the two slanted lines.
Is the center of gravity of a meterstick always located at the 50-cm mark?
No, there should be an equal mass distribution to have its center of gravity at 50 cm mark
What direction does gravity act on a plane?
Always toward the center of the Earth.
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.
Does the centre of gravity always lie inside the body?
No. The classic counterexample is the torus (ring-shape); the center of gravity is in the geometric center of the ring, which is NOT part of the ring.
Does gravity always act in the center of earth?
No, the gravity between Jupiter and its moons acts towards the centre of Jupiter.
Why does the center of gravity and center of buoyancy always not in same position?
Center of gravity is supposed to act at the centroid of the body. while center of buoyancy is the center of gravity of fluid displaced . so they cant be at single point. if the body is completely submerged and homogenous then both cg and cb will coincide
