Tech A says that the center of gravity on a vehicle is located at the vehicle body's lowest point. Tech B says that having a low center of gravity makes a vehicle handle better. Who is correct? Group of answer choices

they are both correct

Explanation:

The center of gravity of any vehicle is the point that sums up the vehicle’s mass in one central point. To put it simply, it is the average location of the weight of an object.

In the human body, the center of gravity is somewhere around the second sacral vertebra. In your car, it is usually somewhere just ahead of the center point of your car.

Both Tech A and Tech B are correct.

Explanation:

THE CENTER OF GRAVITY ON A VEHICLE

The center of gravity is the point that sums up the vehicle’s mass in one central point in any vehicle. In other words, it is the average location of the weight of an object, in this car a vehicle. Humans also have a center of gravity, this is located around the second sacral vertebra.

The vehicle’s center of gravity helps the car when making a turn, especially at high speed. When making a turn at higher speeds, the momentum of the vehicle transfers the load which causes the body of the car to lean in that direction. This is the reason a car with a higher center of gravity, may flip over if taking a turn at a high rate of speed. This is as a result of the center of gravity not been able to compensate for the body lean, hence the car falls over. The lean on the vehicle can be controlled either by lowering the center of gravity or widening the wheelbase of the car. Track cars have a lower center of gravity that helps them take turn at high speeds, while off-road trucks have a wide wheelbase that helps to compensate for the body lean when they’re turning. It also increases stability when you’re driving on rough terrain.
