什么是 Center of mass?

Definition 16.1 High School Physics · 第 16 章 — Forces and Motion

The center of mass of a body or system is its balance point — the average position of its mass: the geometric center of a homogeneous symmetric body; for two point masses, the point of the joining segment at distances in the inverse ratio of the masses, d1d2=m2m1\frac{d_1}{d_2} = \frac{m_2}{m_1} — closer to the heavier.

A thrown wrench at equal time intervals: the wrench spins, but its center of mass (dots) rides a plain parabola.

示例

Example 16.2 (A lopsided dumbbell)

Balls of 2.0 kg2.0\,\mathrm{kg} and 1.0 kg1.0\,\mathrm{kg} sit at the ends of a light bar 0.90 m0.90\,\mathrm{m} long. The center of mass divides it in the inverse ratio d1/d2=1.0/2.0d_1/d_2 = 1.0/2.0: 0.30 m0.30\,\mathrm{m} from the heavy ball, 0.60 m0.60\,\mathrm{m} from the light one — balance the bar there.
