CG effect on braking & acceleration Summary  Quiz : Which brake should keep its function for the entire braking process if you choose only one brake among 4? Why does a car tend to rotate at braking and accelation? What are the effects of CG location on braking and acceleration Effects of vertical location Effects of horizontal location Where is the best CG location of perfect car Figuring out the answer to this quiz, you will have a chance to think about the important effects of CG related to its height and horizontal location on braking and acceleration. And we will have a discussion on why a car tend to rotate at braking and acceleration. Then, I will explain what are the effects of CG location on braking and acceleration. Effects of vertical location, effects of horizontal location. Finally, I will explain what is the best CG location of perfect car. Review I picked up this picture from my previous article. As I explained, front tire braking force and vertical reaction forc...
