Question
the lower the center of mass of an object is located, the greater the ____ of that object.
a) stability
b) moment of inertia
c) angular acceleration
d) total mass
e) thickness
A lower center of mass lowers the likelihood of an object tipping over, directly increasing its stability. The other options do not have this direct relationship: moment of inertia depends on mass distribution and axis, angular acceleration relates to torque and inertia, total mass is independent of center of mass position, and "shakiness" is not a formal physics term for this relationship.
