What is the center-of gravity for a spherical object?
The center of gravity for a spherical object is located at its geometric center, which is also the center of the sphere. This point is equidistant from all points on the surface of the sphere, making it the point where the force of gravity can be considered to act.
What object is at the center of the Sun?
the moon is in the center of the solar system:)
Difference between geometric center and center of mass?
There are two major differences between "center of gravity" and "center of mass": 1) The term "center of gravity" aplies to the bodies with mass and weight, while the term "centroid" applies to plan areas. 2) Center of gravity of a body is the point through which the resultant gravitational force (weight) of the body acts for any orientation of the body while centroid is the point in a plane area such that the moment of the area, about any axis, through that point is zero. Center of gravity is the point at which a object can be suspended and be in perfect equilibrium
What is the name of the center of the solar system?
The center of mass of the solar system is inside the sun, not too far from its geometric center.
Is the center of gravity always in the center of the object?
The earth pulls every molecule of an object in a downwards direction, or in other words every molecule of an object has a weight. We can add all the millions of tiny molecule weights together and get a single resultant force for the weight of the whole object. So an object behaves as if its whole weight was a single force which acts through a point G called its centre of gravity. An object of uniform thickness and density has its mass evenly spread throughout and its centre of gravity is at its geometrical centre. Some examples of objects with regular shapes and uniform densities are shown in the figures below. It is interesting to note the centre of gravity of an object is not necessarily inside the object.
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.
Where is the earth center of gravity?
The center of gravity of Earth is at its core, which is near its geometric center. It is the point where the gravitational pull on an object can be considered to act.
Do the center of the gravity always coincide with the geometrical center of the object?
Only if the object is homogeneous, i.e. the mass is uniformly distributed. If the object is lumpy, or has thick spots and thin spots, then the center of gravity isn't related to the geometric shape. Consider a see-saw with a light kid on one end and a heavy kid on the other end. The geometric center is the mid-point of the board, but the center of gravity is closer to the heavy kid.

What is the center mass of a beach ball?
The center of mass of a beach ball, or any object, is the point at which the object can be balanced without any rotation. In the case of a symmetrical beach ball, the center of mass would be at the geometric center of the ball where all dimensions converge.
Does the center of mass of solid object lie within the object. if not give examples?
The center of mass of a solid object may or may not lie within the object. For example, in a uniform sphere, the center of mass lies within the object at the geometric center. However, in objects with irregular shapes or voids, the center of mass may lie outside the physical boundaries of the object.
What is the name of the center of the solar system?
The center of mass of the solar system is inside the sun, not too far from its geometric center.
What geometric object is a zero dimensional?
A zero-dimensional geometric object is a point. It has no length, area, or volume, and is defined solely by its position in space. In a coordinate system, a point is represented by its coordinates, but it does not occupy any space itself. This makes it the simplest form of a geometric entity.
What object is in the center of a geocentric system?
earth
What is center gravity?
Center of Gravity is the average location of an object's weight. For symmetrical objects it is the same location as the geometric center. Example, a dumbell with equal spherical masses at each end is symmetric about lines drawn thru its center, so the geometric center is midway between the end masses. This is also the center of gravity because the average location of the weights (same amount to the left as to the right) is at the geometric center. For working force problems an object's weight is always a force to be considered. When drawing force vectors the object's weight can be considered as located at its center of gravity. The center of gravity of an object can be found experimentally by finding points where it can be balanced. Draw an imaginary line vertically up, thru the object, from the balance point. Then rotate the object 90 deg and find another balance point and draw a second ,imaginary, vertical line. Then rotate the object 90 deg in a different direction and find a third vertical line. The point ,inside the object, where the lines cross, is its center of gravity. You need three lines for a three dimensional object so you get the balance point in all three spatial directions.
