Centre Of Mass/Stability

Question 1

Define centre of mass

Answer 1

The point of balance of a body

Question 2

Name and describe the factors affecting stability

Answer 2

-The height of the centre of mass:lowering the height will increase stability

-Position of the line of gravity:should be central over ball to increase stability

-Area of the support base:the more contact points and larger the base of support,increased stabiility

-Mass of the performer:greater mass means greater stability due to higher inertia
