A stunt driver drives a car in a straight line at constant speed while balanced on the two right-hand wheels. Where is the car's center of gravity?
centre of gravity, in physics, imaginary point in a body of matter where, for convenience in certain calculations, the total weight of the body may be thought to be concentrated. The concept is sometimes useful in designing static structures (e.g., buildings and bridges) or in predicting the behaviour of a moving body when it is acted on by gravity.
In a uniform gravitational field the centre of gravity is identical to the centre of mass, a term preferred by physicists
since the entire weight is on the right isde of the car there should be something in left so that the car should be balanced so the centre of gravity will shift in the opposite direction. since he is balancing in right it is shifted away from him
