Forces and Centre of Mass: Understanding Stability and Vector Analysis in Physics
This PowerPoint presentation explores the concept of centre of mass (centre of gravity) and its role in stability. It explains how the centre of mass is the point where gravitational forces balance and demonstrates methods to locate it for irregularly shaped objects. The presentation also covers the relationship between stability, base width, and centre of mass height, showing how lower centres of mass and wider bases increase stability. Additionally, it introduces vectors and scalars, explaining how to calculate resultant forces using the parallelogram rule. Practical examples, such as helicopter motion, illustrate the application of vector components. Ideal for students and educators, this resource provides a clear understanding of forces, stability, and vector analysis in physics.
