Q

Newton’s first law

A

An object will stay at rest/constant velocity if forces are balanced or no resultant force.
If s resultant force acts, the object will accelerate in the direction of the force

Q

Finding the center of gravity

A

For regular/uniform objects find the center

For irregular objects: hang object and plum line with a clamp over stand
Wait for object to stabilize and draw a line aligned with the plum line over object
Rotate object and repeat
the point of intersection of the lines is where the centre of gravity is
