Motion of the Center of Mass

Mr. Andersen explains the concept of center of mass using weebles as an example. He discusses how the center of mass affects motion and equilibrium, and provides practical examples with objects like hammers and bicycles. The video also covers methods to find the center of mass in different objects and how to calculate motion, velocity, and acceleration using this concept.

Explain how the center of mass affects the stability of a weeble when pushed.

What is the significance of the center of mass in understanding the motion of an object?

How can you calculate the velocity of an object based on its center of mass and displacement?

Discuss the relationship between internal forces and the center of mass when analyzing the motion of a bicycle.

Describe the method to determine the center of mass of an irregular object using the hang test.
