  2. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    Let the percentage of the total mass divided between these two particles vary from 100% P 1 and 0% P 2 through 50% P 1 and 50% P 2 to 0% P 1 and 100% P 2, then the center of mass R moves along the line from P 1 to P 2. The percentages of mass at each point can be viewed as projective coordinates of the point R on this line, and are termed ...
