Question 1
| Model | Mass (kg) | Base width (cm) | Height of centre of mass (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hatch | 0.80 | 12.0 | 10.0 |
| Minibus | 1.40 | 16.0 | 15.0 |
| Ute | 1.10 | 10.0 | 7.0 |
| Van | 1.20 | 14.0 | 14.0 |
In a Year 12 investigation, four model vehicles (a hatch, a minibus, a ute and a van) are placed in turn on a board that is tilted slowly sideways. The table gives each model's mass, base width and the height of its centre of mass. Which model topples at the smallest tilt angle?
