[00:00:00]Ever wondered why race cars are so low to the ground while giraffes struggle to stay balanced? The secret lies in stability. Let's break down the three states of stability in a way you'll never forget. Stability is the ability of an object to return to its original position after being slightly displaced.

[00:00:15]The stability of an object is affected by the position of the center of gravity. When the center of gravity is low, the object is more stable and less likely to tip over when tilted. Objects with a high center of gravity are less stable and easily tip over when tilted.
