2.  The center of gravity of an object is the point at the center of its weight distribution.

3.  When an object is thrown through the air, its center of gravity follows a smooth parabolic path, even if the object spins or wobbles.

4.  For everyday objects, the center of gravity is the same as the center of mass.

5.  An object will remain upright if its center of gravity is above the area of support.

6.  An object is in stable equilibrium when any displacement raises its center of gravity.

7. High jumper clears the bar while his CG passes beneath him

8. Car Example Cars want a low CG in the middle of the car This is why Porsche puts engines low to the ground in the back & transmission low in the front

9. Toe Touch Example When touching your toes, your CG hovers between your chest and your feet

10. Why is the CG of a baseball bat not at its midpoint?  The weight is not equally distributed in the center of the bat. The center of gravity would be located farther up the bat where there is more mass.
