A center of mass (CM) of a boomerang, depending upon its particular shape and design, is not located on the device, itself. If you orient the boomerang so that it appears to form the letter V, its CM will be located directly over the vertex. The distance above the vertex will vary depending upon the boomerang's design. When you toss the boomerang, it will spin about its CM. You may be able to determine a boomerang's CM by doing the following: Suspend the device from a string. The CM will align with the string. Since the CM is also located directly above the vertex, the intersection of the line bisecting the vertex and the line extending downward from the string should locate the CM.

Where is center of mass of a sphere?
The center of mass of a sphere is its geometric center.
What is the center of mass of an equilateral triangle?
Center of mass of an equilateral triangle is located at its geometric center (centroid).
How do you calculate center of mass of a solid?
Center of mass is defined as the point about which the sum of mass moment vectors of all the points of the body is equal to zero. Center of mass = [(mass of a point object)*(distance of that point from origin)]/(Total mass) For a rigid body we need to integrate this expression.
Which center of a triangle is also the center of mass?
The centroid - where the medians meet.
How do you find the center of rotation?
you can find center of earth by using only the formulas
Where is center of mass of a sphere?
The center of mass of a sphere is its geometric center.
Where is the center of mass of a ball?
The center of mass of a soccer ball is its geometric center.
What is the relationship between center of mass and mass distribution?
Mass is uniformly distributed about its center of mass.
How do you maintain center of mass when mass is added?
The simplest answer is to add the mass at the center of mass. In that case, the total mass will increase, but not the center of mass. If the additional mass is not added at the center of mass, then it must be balanced with more mass at a location on the object that depends upon the object's shape. That's where things get complicated.
What is the distance from the center of earth to its center of mass?
The geometric center and the center of mass of the Earth are essentially the same point.
What is the center of the mass of an object?
the center mass of an object is in the center of such objects. you can find it by spining the object. :)
What is the advantages of center of mass?
Center of mass has no advantages. It just kind of is.
What is the center of mass of an equilateral triangle?
Center of mass of an equilateral triangle is located at its geometric center (centroid).
What is the main difference between center of mass and center of gravity?
Since gravity is produced by mass, the center of mass is also the center of gravity. The only difference between these two concepts is that mass is a more basic quantity, so the center of mass would also be the center of inertia, as well as the center of gravity. In practice, these terms can be used interchangeably.
Can center of gravity lies outside the figure of an object?
Yes. For example in the case of a doughnut shape, the center of gravity is in the center of the doughnut - and that is outside the doughnut. Or a boomerang or horseshoe type shape, the center of gravity could easily position off of the object.
How do you use the word boomerang in a sentence?
I can give you several sentences.I threw the boomerang across the field.That is going to boomerang back on you.The boomerang was a weapon at one time.
What do you call a boomerang that flies high?
a boomerang that flies high. =_= a boomerang that flies high. =_=
