What happens to a person's balance if his center of gravity is lowered?
The lowering of the center of gravity will make it easier for the person to balance. The person will use less muscular energy to maintain his balance with that lower center of gravity.
Why is a chest of drawers more stable if it's lower drawers are filled?
because it have a more lower centre of gravity. the lower the center of gravity is the more stable the chest of drawers is
How can you lower the center of gravity in a car?
by distributing the mass all over the body
Center of gravity in man and woman?
A women's body structure is such that they have a lower center of gravity, because of their wider hips and heavier bond structure in the lower abdominal part of the skeleton, as compared to men's structure. Men in general have wider shoulders as compared to women. This lower center of gravity is the main cause for women to be able to bend forward in the kneeling position without falling over forward. When men try to bend over, they will fall forward because of the location of their center of gravity. Then this center of gravity passes beyond the knees, their bodies will topple forward.
Why the height of a vehicle is kept low as possible?
To lower the center of gravity to improve handling and reduce the possibility of a roll over.
Who has the lower center of gravity a 300 pound 5 foot 2 women or a 5 ft 9 inch man?
In all probability, the shorter woman has the lower centre of gravity.
How do you predict whether an object will topple dealimg with the center of gravity?
The center of gravity of an object is one factor in determining the stability of the object. The lower the center of gravity, the more stable the object. Other factors must be used for the prediction such as the shape of the base and overall structure.
Where is the center of gravity for men and women?
The center of gravity for men is generally lower in the body compared to women. In men, the center of gravity is typically located around the lower abdomen or pelvic area, while in women, it is slightly higher around the hips or lower back. This difference is due to variations in body composition, such as muscle mass and fat distribution.
Why are large tall vehicles such as tractor trailer trucks and large vans more likely to roll or tip over on sharp curves than smaller cars?
This is because of weight distribution and size. A large tall vehicle has a higher center of gravity and is therefore more unstable than a smaller car which would have a lower center of gravity. Semi trucks sometimes tip because of the items in the trailer moving to one side. When that happens, the truck tips. Vans are not as likely to tip at highway speeds. Vans would tip at an estimated 90-mph.
What is the center of buoyancy?
The center of buoyancy is the center of volume of displaced water of the hull (of a vessel). Gravity pulls down on a floating object. The fluid it is floating on pushes it up and it floats (assuming it is bouyant). Both gravity and bouyancy (the two forces at work) will have an effective center. The center of gravity is not required to be lower than the center of bouyancy and in general most ship's center of gravity is above the center of bouyancy. The ship will heel until the Metacenter (which is a function of the actual Waterplane area) is at or above the center of gravity. It might be advantageous to look at the center of gravity with respect to the center of bouyancy in ship hull stability and thereby get a better grasp of the particulars. Use the link below to our friends at Wikipedia and look at some diagrams concerning the stability of ships in terms of where the centers of bouyancy and gravity are in relation to each other.
Why are heavier items put at the bottom of a ship?
To make the ship more stable and allow for a much lower center of gravity.
If an object if in unstable equilibrium any displacement will?
If an object is in a state of unstable equilibrium, any displacement will lower that objects center of gravity.
