Answer:

If you push hard, the block's bottom will move out from under its center of gravity and the block will tip over. The taller the block, the easier it is to push the bottom out from under the center of gravity. Keeping a car's center of gravity low is important to avoiding disaster during turns. But if you don't keep the car's center gravity low it will be inversely proportional and the acceleration can be damaged with force, and its mass could get disproportionate.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sorry i tried my best. :/

Answer:

Mass is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Many drivers report a more positive handling response and a definite improvement when reducing unsprung mass. You want to keep unsprung weight to as little as possible. This minimizes the momentum and energies that your suspension has to counter. In effect, it can make your shocks more sensitive.
