The center of mass can be thought of, loosely, as the average location of the total mass of the object. The center of mass of an object traces out the trajectory dictated by Newton’s second law, due to the net external force. The internal forces within an extended object cannot alter the momentum of the extended object as a whole.

Force is a push or pull that can be defined in terms of various standards, and it is a vector that has both magnitude and direction. External forces are any outside forces that act on a body. A free-body diagram is a drawing of all external forces acting on a body. The SI unit of force is the newton (N).
