Why does the front end of a car “lift up” while accelerating?
In: Physics
The force that accelerates the car is taking place at the point where the driven tires are touching the road.
Every part of the car is above these contact points.
Inertia makes the rest of the car lag behind the contact points between the tires and the road. The suspension allows the body of the car to lag by tilting up.
