  • Q9
    Which scenario describes a situation where the center of gravity changes?
    When an object is placed on a flat surface
    When an object is painted a different color
    When a person is standing still
    When a person shifts their weight while standing
    30s
  • Q10
    If you want to improve the balance of a tall object, how can you do it?
    Make it taller
    Add weight to the top
    Use lighter materials
    Lower its center of gravity
    30s
  • Q11
    How does the center of gravity affect the stability of an object?
    Objects with no center of gravity are more stable
    A higher center of gravity increases stability
    A lower center of gravity usually increases stability
    The center of gravity has no effect on stability
    30s
  • Q12
    Which shape typically has its center of gravity at its geometric center?
    An irregular shape
    A uniform solid sphere
    A flat rectangle
    A tall cylinder
    30s
  • Q13
    What happens to the center of gravity if you add more weight to the top of a tall object?
    It disappears
    It stays the same
    It moves lower down
    It moves higher up
    30s
  • Q14
    When an object is made of multiple parts, how is its center of gravity determined?
    By considering the weights and positions of all parts
    By finding the heaviest part only
    By measuring the total size of the object
    By using the average position of all parts
    30s
  • Q15
    What is the center of gravity?
    The highest point of an object
    The point where the weight of an object is balanced
    The lowest point of an object
    The point where the object is most rigid
