How does position of centre of gravity effect the car dynamics?

The car’s centre of gravity is significant and impacts dynamics. When a car is driven through a turn the momentum of the vehicle is transferred in the direction of the turn which shifts the centre of gravity. If the centre of gravity is not accurate, the vehicle can roll over on the turn. A wider car wheelbase can be a potential solution to deal with a higher centre of gravity vehicle. During acceleration or braking the centre of gravity acts over the force distribution between the tyres. When a stationary vehicle is accelerated gravity acts downward through the centre of gravity point. Whereas reaction forces of the wheel act upward this creates a balance of force. This balance of force enables the braking system to work when acceleration is reduced. Similarly, when vehicles are provided with acceleration, the centre of gravity balances the air resistance and rolling friction enabling vehicles to move forward. Therefore disturbance in the centre of gravity can impact the overall functioning of the vehicle.
