Well and then there's this;
My car has a front wheel line-loc.
If I set the line-loc to do a modest low-rpm burn-out, and then slowly bring the rpm up; when the front starts to slide, I have to reduce engine output, else the rpm will run away. To me this proves that friction at the front wheels was lost when it began to slide.
In hi-school Science, we learned that a body at rest tends to remain at rest, and requires more energy to "break-loose" , than to maintain motion after motion has begun, because a body in motion tends to remain in motion.
And this fact relates very well to the torque wrench, in as much as, if you try to tighten the bolt after the wrench has clicked off, it will require a great deal more torque to re-innitiate a turning action.
And my favorite example; if you give a standing person a hard shove, he will take a step forward and that's the end of it. But if you apply the same shove to a running person, he's going down! Ok-Ok, I know not a good example but true and funny when it's the class bully going down, lol.
