Yes but your test is not true to life.
For it to be true your can with the solid would have to be 100% full like iron weights.
The can with the liquid would have to be 1/2 full as in water in a tire.
A liquid will always have starting and stopping forces.
Try pulling a trailer with a tractor on it.
Now take the tractor off and put a 800 gallon tank on the trailer with 400 gallons of water in it. Did you notice the difference ???????????
