Balance stability and equilibrium

What is the reference to the ability of an object to its original position after it has been tilted slightly?

• Stability

• Equilibrium

• Center of Gravity

• Turning Effect

Which of the following is NOT part of States of Equilibrium?

• Stable equilibrium

• Regular equilibrium

• Unstable equilibrium

• Neutral equilibrium

When an object is tilted slightly and it topples over, the state is termed?

• Unstable equilibrium

• Stable equilibrium

• Neutral equilibrium

• Regular equilibrium

The illustration shows a bunsen burner in 3 different positions. Which of these positions is the most stable?

• X

• Y

• Z

• W

The point through which the whole weight of the body acts is called:

• Inertial point

• Center of gravity

• Centroid

• Equilibrium

Center of Gravity of an object depends on its:

• Weight

• Mass

• Density

• Shape

Center of Gravity is usually located where?

• more weight is concentrated

• less weight is concentrated

• less mass is concentrated

• more mass is concentrated

What is the branch of physics that deals with the study of objects at rest?

• Statics

• Dynamics

• Kinematics

• Kinetics

In this illustrations, which factors affecting the stability of an object?

• Area of the base

• Position of CG

• Weight of an object

• Condition of equilibrium

Define Base of Support

• An objects ability to maintain a stable position

• The area around the contact points with the ground. The larger it is, the greater stability a person has.

• Base of support contributing factors

• The point at which all parts of an object are equally balanced
