During development, it was found that the comparatively heavy rear-mounted engine moved the centre of mass of the vehicle rearwards.
32.
A linear molecule lies on a single axis and each atom moves on the surface of a sphere around the centre of mass.
33.
:: In the simplest case, a two-body system, both objects will move towards their combined centre of mass.
34.
The distance of the centre of mass from the base is actually 1 / 3 of the height, not 2 / 3.
35.
The anti-squat used in the DW-link system is achieved by a minimisation of torque about the centre of mass.
36.
Both the elevators and rudder were shaped so that their centre of mass was shifted forward, thus reducing control-surface flutter.
37.
There is a mutual attraction between the Moon and the solid Earth, which can be considered to act on its centre of mass.
38.
During walking, the centre of mass reaches a maximum height at midstance, while during running, it is then at a minimum.
39.
Satellites changed the reference from the surface of the Earth to its centre of mass around which all satellites orbit regardless of surface irregularities.
40.
However, if the centre of mass is below the axis, it will move to one side and rise, creating potential energy.
