the center of mass

As another example the center of mass of the earth and moon moves in an approximately circular orbit around the sun.

But one that you might have seen in physics, we care about maybe where is the center of mass of a given object?

The center of mass of a system is defined as follows: I have here some kind of an object not just a point mass, but it has a finite size.

Since the stars are orbiting around the center of mass of the binary, the visible one will move in a wavy line.

In the case of the center of mass, 0 the total momentum is always zero.

What I can do now, I can suspend it like this, and I know that the center of mass must be below my finger. Did you notice?

The King's Chamber is not the center of mass of the Great Pyramid, rather it is where the primary energetic vortex is centered.

But the basic idea is, then, that the center of mass will always in stable configuration line itself up below the point of suspension.

In the case of a completely inelastic collision, there is no kinetic energy left in the center-of-mass frame.

High hydrophobicity and an imbalance between the center of mass and the barycenter of its hydrophobic regions decreased the activity.

To avoid ambiguity, Newton's first and second laws for systems should be restated in terms of the center of mass.

Make v2 zero, and you see exactly that you see here the same result, so this must be the velocity of the center of mass.

Ten kilograms is ten meters below the rope, so clearly the center of mass of the system as a whole will be below the rope.

And then you can really see that the center of mass moves in a very civilized way.

So the center of mass rearranges itself so that it goes under the point of suspension and is completely stable.

If the external force on the squash racquet were zero, then it would continue to go always with the same velocity, the center of mass.

The origin is located on the axis at the point closest to the center of mass.

And that's exactly what you see comes out of these equations whether you go to the center of mass or whether you do it from 26. 100.

Well, what was the velocity of the center of mass?

So the center of mass will always find itself below the point of suspension.

And this gives the center of mass some amazing properties that I will discuss with you now.

And as the donor moves around the center of mass, these absorption lines move back and forth.

Can you see that the center of mass is moving very uniformly, or can you not see that?

We did a demonstration there with two vibrating objects with a spring, but yet the center of mass was moving with a constant velocity.

And where the two lines intersect-- - could be in this opening-- that's where the center of mass is located.

For this to be effective, it is necessary to keep the center of mass in normal flight directly below the center of pressure.

So the behavior of the center of mass is extremely predictable, whereas the behavior of the squash racquet is not.

Inclination with parallel legs allows for the Center of Mass to travel by much shorter, more direct path through the gates.

I have here a triangle, and I have no clue where the center of mass is.

And let the center of - mass of the rope walker be right here-- somewhere here.

I will then transfer to the center-of-mass frame, and I will show you, then, this quite amazing property.

To remove the ambiguity, these laws should refer to the velocity and the acceleration of the center of mass.

So we're dealing here with the center-of-mass frame, and now I'm going back to the laboratory frame.

Speed Relaxation: The key to going fast is to breathe and relax into the center of mass.

So here is the center of mass of that ladder, right in the middle.

"How can it not? The center of mass must fall with acceleration g. " Aha.

So to get into the center-of-mass frame, you must subtract the velocity of the center of mass from the initial velocities.

Stability: the lower the center of mass, the bigger the support area, the more stable the object is.

No, I don't think we could actually find the center of mass in polar coordinates by finding the average of R or the average of theta.

This, by the way-- - it's not so obvious-- is also the velocity of the center of mass.

And, now, I think I know just by looking at the picture where the center of mass of this circle will be, right?

Or you might say this situation, mP because now we have the center of mass, mP, vertical line.

First, the relative position of the center of mass and buoyancy was design based on the Archimedean principle.

Let's do one calculation to give you some experience on how you derive the center of mass.

Earlier in the course, we calculated where the center of mass was.

So now we're going to turn off the lights and I want to show you the motion of the center of mass.

Because of these weights on both sides, the center of mass is somewhere here, so it is completely stable.

And the center of mass of this eraser is somewhere in the middle.

And now comes another unique property of the center of mass.

The center of mass is lower, around half of the machine height.

And let the center of mass be, for instance, here.

Center of Mass: The center of mass which is just below the belly button should always be projecting down the hill.

And this, now, is the position vector of the center of mass.

If I have a completely inelastic collision, then all energy in the center-of-mass frame is lost.

Where is the center of mass of this system?

How do we calculate the velocity of the center of mass?

Hard to predict but the center of mass behaves decently.

The center of mass relative to the transform's origin.

That always will happen if P and the center of mass are along a vertical line.

If you have a car or if you have an object like this, then it is, of course, much harder to calculate the center of mass.

In this case, it will rotate about the center of mass, so it's not static equilibrium.

That's obvious-- in the center-of-mass frame, 0 remember, momentum is zero.

But the center of mass is just one smooth motion.

I have here a solid object, which is rotating about point P about an axis vertical to the blackboard, C and here at C is the center of mass.

because it's a unit disk. And, the center of mass is the center of a disk.

Here is the center of mass right in the middle, in the middle of nowhere.

You're not moving, you're in the center of mass.

It will arrange itself so that the center of mass will fall below my finger, and it will be completely happy.

And look at this. The center of mass is way below my suspension point.

We want to know what the velocity is of the center of mass of the other one.

For example, take a disk center at the origin, well, the center of mass should be at the origin.

That's the way the center of mass is defined.

And so you can calculate the center of mass.

So this is a disk, and we just discussed the rotation about the center of mass.

But the center of mass is below the rope, and so there is really no danger.

And so we have here a squash racquet and we have here the center of mass.

This is the center of mass.

And so now we can calculate the position of the center of mass as follows.

If you ever want to move yourself to the center of mass, you will have to know what the center-of-mass velocity is.
