My science teacher said that the center of gravity is somewhere around the stomach when you ride ;P Idk if that helped (at all)..

Inverted pendulum
Dynamic equilibrium Either of those two should be enough for a few pages of report.

 In physics you might want to call that "center of mass."

Well once I heard that women are inherently better at te balancing aspect of riding a unicycle given the fact that their center of gravity is lower- at their hips, whereas a mans center of gravity is at his shoulders.
The same way a Hummer is the best climbing production vehicle. EDIT: excuse me, I should say the original Hummer Last edited by lpounds; 2008-05-09 at 01:50 AM. |
