When does a tower tip and fall? When its center of mass is no longer over its base. Dr. Carlson plays with blocks and walks the plank in order to illustrate the power of center of mass.

  • @kristijan0kroflin I'm not sure what you're asking here... and when you get to the atomic level you have to deal with wavefunctions so if you were really wanting a center of mass I suppose one could locate the most likely location of an electron and go from there. (Most electron maps used to talk about "atoms" or "orbitals" are typically indicating where electrons reside 90% of the time.)

  • You are a great teacher!!!
