This is trailer weight distribution test . At least 60% of the load needs to be at the front of the trailer. If too much weight is at the back, it can swing out and you lose control of your vehicle.
@ScienceGuys_ The other lesson to be learned here is not to tow with a Mustang...😉😊
@ScienceGuys_ This car emulating a Mustang tho, I know enough about cars to know this simulation is absolutely not realistic. In real life mustang would do a burn out and finish the run on the sidewalk.
@ScienceGuys_ Not the hero we wanted but A hero we needed! A lot of peolle need to see this! Those who drive with trailers. And those that dont give space to cars with trailers!
@ScienceGuys_ Show same test with weight centered over rear axle
@ScienceGuys_ It happens because of the relative position of the center of mass to the articulating axis, which influences the angular momentum when torque is applied. The equilibrium destabilizes and produces an oscillation (which could achieve resonance and that would be neat).
@ScienceGuys_ @NoRiskNoFu9 But the road is moving, the model car is not.
@ScienceGuys_ Happened to me. It’s scary. If it ever happens to you, don’t panic…get off the gas and DON’T hit the brakes of the the tow vehicle!!! Instead use ONLY the trailer brakes to slow down until it settles.
@ScienceGuys_ @rafa_piccinoni Además de la distribución de las cartas, el peor error es la posición del eje del remolque (en la mitad del remolque y muy cerca del auto)
