What part of an object follows a smooth path when the object is made to spin through the air or across a flat smooth surface?
Part of an object that follows a smooth path when the object is made to spin.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The point of an object where whole mass of body is considered to be concentrated is known as center of mass of an object.
Object spins around the center of gravity. Center of gravity is the point where all weight of an object is to be located. The path followed by center of gravity of an object is smooth.
Conclusion:
The center of gravity of an object that follows a smooth path.
