Oct 7, 2022 at 8:04 comment added Timothy Scherer Thanks for the answers. But in here for example they state that when motogp bikes brake at 2g , the weight of the bike doubles motorsportmagazine.com/articles/motorcycles/motogp/… , they claim the bike is 260kg and say during braking twice the amount of weight 520kg is put on the front wheels. Do motorbikes experience this and cars dont ?

Oct 6, 2022 at 17:10 comment added DKNguyen The weight won't change because gravity of 1g is still the only force acting downwards on the road surface. The equivalent of 3gs of acceleration from the turning is the centripetal force which acts laterally.

Oct 6, 2022 at 16:34 comment added Bob D The weight of the car will be the same. It's the distribution of the weight that changes.

Oct 6, 2022 at 16:17 comment added BillOnne I would be surprised if a car could corner at 3 g. I should think not much above 1 g would be the maximum, possibly not even that much. Rubber wheels rolling on pavement are not going to do much better than a coef of friction of 1.
Oct 6, 2022 at 16:05 comment added Timothy Scherer road isnt sloped just normal road without any slope or banking etc. I also meant the downwards weight.
Oct 6, 2022 at 16:00 comment added DKNguyen In what direction are you defining weight? Down? Or perpendicular to the road surface? And is the road corner sloped like a race track or is if horizontally?
