Front

What is the definition of center of gravity?

Back

The point where the weight of an object is evenly distributed.

Front

What happens to the center of gravity when an object is tilted?

Back

It shifts towards the lower side.

Front

How does mass affect the center of gravity?

Back

More mass can lower the center of gravity if distributed evenly.

Front

What is the relationship between center of gravity and stability?

Back

A lower center of gravity generally increases stability.
