Understanding Gravity and Center of Gravity

What causes the toy to fall when pushed?

• The toy's weight distribution

• The gravitational pull of the Earth

• The toy's internal mechanism

• The wind resistance

What is the center of gravity?

• A point where gravity does not act

• The topmost point of an object

• The heaviest part of an object

• A point where all the mass of an object is concentrated

Why does the punching toy stand back up after being hit?

• Its center of gravity is near the base

• It is made of lightweight material

• It is filled with helium

• It has a motor inside

How does the distribution of mass affect the center of gravity?

• It changes the object's color

• It increases the object's size

• It makes the object heavier

• It shifts the center of gravity

What happens when the center of gravity is close to the base of an object?

• The object becomes unstable

• The object is more likely to fall

• The object becomes lighter

• The object stands back up easily
