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 a kid friendly definition of friction?

Friction is like a force that happens when two things rub against each other and resist moving. It's the reason it can feel hard to push a heavy box across the floor or why sliding down a slide is slower than falling straight down.


What is a kid friendly definition of magnetic force?

Example of tension force?

When two ropes are being pulled at both endsThat is correct but another example is the cables on a suspension bridge. The cables undergo tension while supporting the LOAD. A good kid friendly website for the forces is:http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/buildingbig/lab/forces.html
