9. A ball is placed at the bottom of a concave bowl and comes to rest without rolling further. What type of equilibrium does the ball demonstrate?
- Neutral equilibrium
- Stable equilibrium
- Unstable equilibrium
- Dynamic equilibrium
Answer: B) Stable equilibrium
Explanation:
In a stable equilibrium, the ball remains at rest at the bottom of the concave bowl, even if slightly displaced, as it tends to return to its original position.
