Question

A child starts eating an ice cream from a fully-filled cone. What happens to its centre of gravity?

Options

• rises continuously

• falls continuously

• remains constant

• none of the above

Answer 1

None of the above

Explanation:

As the child eats the ice cream from the top, the centre of gravity initially moves downwards. When the ice cream is almost finished, the centre of gravity may start rising due to the mass of the cone. Thus, the centre of gravity does not rise or fall continuously.
