Center of Mass

Mr. Andersen explains the concept of center of mass using various examples, including a tire, hammer, and Saturn V rocket. He demonstrates how the center of mass affects motion and how it can be calculated using simulations and experiments. Practical examples with ice blocks and springs illustrate constant velocity in systems without external forces. The video concludes with methods to calculate the center of mass in complex systems and multiple dimensions.
