What is the factors that affect the stability of an objects?

Answer 1

The factors that affect stability can vary depending on the object. One factor that affects stability is the center of gravity. Factors that affect chemical stability include environmental factors and decomposition.

Answer 2

The neutron/proton ratio; The binding energy of the nucleus; the half life of the nucleon if it is radioactive; Whether a nucleus has a number of protons and neutrons that are a magic number; the odd-even rule, i.e. whether the numbers of neutrons and protons in the nucleus are both even numbers, the isotopes tends to be far more stable than when they are both odd, etc

Answer 3

For mechanical stability - you want the object to remain in its place without moving:

1) The sum of all forces on the object must be zero. If this is not the case, the object will accelerate.

2) The sum of al torques on the object must also be zero. For example, forces that add up to zero, but that pull or push on differents part of the object, may make it rotate.

For actual calculations, this can be separated into component form, three equations for part (1), and another three equations for part (2).

Answer 4

-The base area of the object (smaller base=more unstable)

-The weight of the base of the object (weigh less=more unstable)

Answer 5

The 3 variables are: the base of support, the height of the center of gravity, and the line of gravitational pull.

Answer 6

3 factors

1) type of bone

2) position and strength of ligaments

3) contraction of muscle
