What physics concept is responsible for the front wheels of a race car keeping it from nosing up?

catdancer784: What physics concept is responsible for the front wheels of a race car keeping it from nosing up?
I’m studying for a physics exam and going through the problems at the end of the chapter.
The question is: “The front wheels located far out in front of the racing vehicle help to keep the vehicle from nosing upward when it accelerates. What physics concepts play a role here?”
My class is a conceptual physics class and the tests are centered around understanding the concepts. So if anyone could walk me through how to understand this problem that would be great! Thanks!

This is most definitely NOT a problem that have anything to do with what the said below people are suggesting. It’s not an Acceleration OF gravity, but rather and Acceleration AND Gravity. The problem is actually taking two problems and mixing it into one. A common exam strategy.

I haven’t done the problem but I’m guessing that it’s asking you to find out when the acceleration is no longer greater than the force of gravity.

first of all we need to know what kind of race car your talking about Dragster,Funny Car, Formula-1, Grand Prix, ? Each one has it’s own physics, such as Dragsters are long and sleek with large rear tires and huge engine power outputs, the length keeps the toqure of the rear wheels from standing the dragster straight up, the length keeps the dragster in better control at 300+mph, the front spoiler of the dragster keeps high pressure on the lower side of the spoiler forcing the front tires down at very high speeds.Many aspects. I would say high ad low pressures. Hope this gives you something.
