Learn how physicists define the term, center of gravity, and how it differs from center of mass. [1:13]

This lesson demonstrates how to find the center of gravity for oddly shaped objects.

This lesson demonstrates how to find the center of gravity for simple objects.

An introduction to the center of mass. [9:35]

The corners of a NASCAR track are divided into three parts because the car's grip changes in different parts of the turn. A race crew must try to minimize load transfer by making adjustments based on a car's centre of gravity. [5:05]

Do you know how much you are accelerating down toward the center of Earth? This video will explore how to use Newton's Law of Gravitation to figure it out. [8:37]

This video shows how the center of gravity on an airplane is determined, where it is located, and why it's important for maintaining balance. Watch as computers on the aircraft redistribute weight of fuel on an airplane to help maintain...

This lesson introduces the concept of center of mass.

Getting the right balance in a race car is difficult because the weight of the fuel changes as the fuel burns off, and the tires wear down during each green-flag run. [5:16]

EARTH'S AND MOON'S CENTER OF GRAVITY - Though we often say that the Moon orbits our Earth, it is more accurate to say that both actually orbit their common center of mass-a point known as the "Earth-Moon barycenter.

A discussion of the force that keeps a block of ice from falling towards the center of the Earth. The example problem has two 5-kg blocks of ice on the surface of a frozen lake, one stationary and one moving at a constant velocity. [7:18]

A narrated screencast explains the concept of stability in objects. [3:16]

The objective of this video lesson is to correct the misconception in the students' understanding of centrifugal force. The lesson will work to clarify this misconception by using Newton's three laws of motion, particularly the law of...
