Hi Steve,
Good explanation.
In airplanes, we like to say that the closer the mass to the center of
rotation (i.e., a spin), the higher the rotation speed and the more
difficult it is to stop the rotation. This also contributes to the
"breakaway" action of cars (just one of the factors though...).
I don't know if this contributes to the discussion or causes more
confusion?
What do you think?
Best regards,
