Centre of gravity (A level Physics)

From WikiTextbook

Jump to: navigation, search


When modelling the mechanics of a body, it is easier to label its weight as a single point - the centre of gravity, than to try and label the effects of gravity on every part of that body.

Definition

In the Forces & Motion exam, the candidate may be asked to define centre of gravity. It can be defined as the point in a body that gravity acts upon.
