the center of gravity is your step mom's BFF

∙ 11y agoIt is not possible for the center of gravity to be at a point where there is no mass, as it is a weighted average that considers the distribution of mass within a body. If there is no mass at a point, it cannot contribute to the calculation of the center of gravity.
yes
Since the atmosphere is more or less symmetric, its center of mass (center of gravity) gravity must be quite close to Earth's center.
The center of gravity of a magnet is typically in the middle of the magnet, where the mass is evenly distributed. For a coin, the center of gravity is near the geometrical center as long as the mass is evenly distributed.
The center of gravity always lies within an object, and is the location at which the entire mass can be considered acting at a single point.For a system of more than one object, the center of gravity can lie anywhere between the farthest points of the objects, depending on the distribution of mass. The center of mass is called the barycenter.
The main difference is that center of mass refers to the average location of mass distribution in an object, while center of gravity refers to the point where the force of gravity can be considered to act on an object. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of mass and center of gravity coincide.
yes
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.
No, they are not the same. The center of mass is the point where the entire mass of an object can be considered to be concentrated, while the center of gravity is the point where the force of gravity appears to act on the object. The center of mass and center of gravity may coincide under certain conditions, such as in a uniform gravitational field.
The center of mass is a geometrical measurement not considering the weight distribution. The center of gravity is one location on a particular mass structure where the distribution of weight is the same no matter the direction of the measurement as it pertains to that one particular mass structure.
No, the center of mass and the center of gravity are the same point on an object when it is in a uniform gravitational field. However, they can differ when there are variations in the gravitational field, such as near a planet's surface with uneven mass distribution.
Toward the center of mass of the object or objects attracting you. Gravity also pulls it/them toward the center of mass of you.
Everything with mass has a center of gravity although in an atomic scale these numbers are very small and in newtons laws state all things with mass put forces on anything else with mass so it might not be possible to balance an atom on top of another atom but everything has a center of gravity that has mass or weight no matter how big or small
The center of mass is the point where the total mass of an object is considered to be concentrated, and is used in the study of motion and collisions. The center of gravity is the point where the force of gravity on an object can be considered to act, and it changes depending on the object's location and orientation. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of mass and center of gravity coincide.
Center of gravity = center of mass, for most practical purposes. Mainly, the center of mass is the place where you imagine the mass to be concentrated. However, as a result, you can also consider inertia and weight to be concentrated at the center of mass.
If the gravity is not constant over the body.
Everything around you that has mass is an example of center gravity. :)
