Centre of gravity is a point around which an item is perfectly balanced. If you had a hinge on that point you could turn the item any which way and when you took your hand away the item would stop in whichever position you left it in. Lowering the CoG means moving heavied bits closer to the bottom so that the CoG also ends up lower.

∙ 13y agoOne reason is to keep all of your weight closer to the ground to increase your stability. The second is when handling heavy weights, its generally good practice to stay low using your legs to save your lower back. This is a vague answer, as one exercise position can be so different from another, but its generally a health and safety thing.

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
The mechanical force that resists gravity in the lifting of an object is?
It is called work. If you lift a rock one meter you are doing work. When you stop lifting so work stops even though your muscles are working to keep the rock at that hight.
Would it be easier or harder to throw a fast ball in low gravity?
As long as you can keep your feet on the ground, there should be no difference. Since the forces of gravity act vertically, they have no effect on things you're trying to do horizontally.
What is the force that keep an object moving?
gravity
When you carry a heavy load why do you tend to hold your free arm out horizontally?
This action helps to keep your centre of gravity inside your body. The arm is usually held out in the opposite direction to the direction in whch the load is pulling you. If you have to carry the load in front of you, your free arm will tend to go backwards. Keeping your centre of gravity inside your body helps to keep you upright. If you didn't have a free hand, then it would be normal to keep both loads as close to the body as possible.

Will carrying heavy cargo increase the cars center of gravtiy?
Carrying heavy items can indeed cause an increase in a car's center of gravity. This is particularly true for SUVs, which typically have a higher center of gravity to begin with. To keep the center of gravity as low as possible, load heavy items as low in the chassis as possible, and towards the center of the vehicle. Heavy items should never be carried on a roof or luggage rack.
What is always at the center of gravity?
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.
Why the height of vehicles is kept as low as possible?
To reduce the centre of gravity and improve stability of the vehicle.
Do bus and truck need to have low or high center of gravity?
It is best to keep the center of gravity low on any road vehicle. This can be done by design, and by loading the heaviest items lowest with lighter items higher up. So to answer your question, they need as low a center of gravity as is physically possible.
The mechanical force that resists gravity in the lifting of an object is?
It is called work. If you lift a rock one meter you are doing work. When you stop lifting so work stops even though your muscles are working to keep the rock at that hight.
Where is the center of gravity during a cartwheel?
the center of the universe depends on your vision and point, its all a form of opinion. Everyone can consider themselves as the center.
When lifting heavy objects should you put both feet together?
No. You always keep your feet apart.
Why is the base of vehicle made wide?
A vehicle is made heavy at its bottom so that to keep it's centre of gravity a s low as possible. A lower center of gravity helps keep it stable, moreover, the base is made wide so that the vertical line passing through the centre of the gravity should not get out of its base during a turn.
Supposing the center of the earth was safe and you could cut a hole down to the center if you got down there would the force of gravity keep you there or would it squish you?
As you go down below the surface, the force of gravity would decrease, because now part of the Earth is attracting you from above, and less from below. At the center of the Earth, gravity would be zero.
Describe at least two considerations you might keep in mind if you were designing a robot?
If your designing a robot you should always keep in mind the center of gravity so that it's balanced, and come up with a specific task for it to do. If your don't have a task it doesn't have a purpose.
Why does gravity keep us down on the ground and not up in the clouds?
It is pulling us toward the center of the earth. We are lucky we live on Earth and no some planet with a weak gravity where we can fly in the clouds.
