Study Notes

Balance and Support

  • The area on which an object rests is called the base of support, providing stability and balance to the object.

Center of Gravity

  • A person's center of gravity is located near the belly button, slightly above the hips, and is the point where their weight is evenly distributed.

Line of Gravity

  • The line of gravity represents an imaginary vertical line running through an object's center of gravity, indicating the direction of gravity's pull on the object.
