Dominique is helping her friend Kaley learn to do a handstand on the gymnastics mat. To help her friend master this skill, Dominique helps her maintain her balance. Over Kaley’s base of support, Dominique needs to guide her
A.Center of gravity
B.fulcrum
C.primary lever
D.secondary lever
My answer is A.
well im not a expert and all but I go with u
;)
I'm struggling too, also this so old lol it's
2021 now
It's 2021 and I also had this question Caring Karen :)
It is a
You are correct! The correct answer is A. Center of gravity.
The center of gravity refers to the point in an object where its entire weight is concentrated or balanced. In this case, Dominique is helping Kaley maintain her balance while doing a handstand. By guiding Kaley's center of gravity over her base of support, Dominique is able to ensure that Kaley remains stable and doesn't tip over.
To find the center of gravity, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the object or person and its parts.
2. Determine the weight and distribution of each part.
3. Calculate the center of gravity by finding the average position of all the parts' individual centers of gravity.
In the context of a handstand, it is important for Kaley's center of gravity to be directly over her base of support (her hands), as this will maximize stability. By adjusting her body position and making small balance corrections, Dominique ensures that Kaley's center of gravity remains within the support area, helping her maintain the handstand position successfully.
