C1-01: CENTER OF MASS MOTION - BARBELL
Additional Info
- ID Code: C1-01
- Purpose: Demonstrate motion of the center of mass of an asymmetric object.
-
Description:
A barbell with unequal ends is thrown through the air. The center of mass (red spot near large end) moves in a smooth parabolic arc despite the gyrations of the two asymmetric ends.
An animation of the movement of an object of this kind can be viewed at http://www.acs.psu.edu/drussell/Demos/COM/com-a.html
