Newbie Vmca question

This aught to be amusing.

Could somebody explain the physics of the rotational force acting on an an aircraft when Vmca is reached.

I was talking with a mate (neither of us are MEP) regarding reducing rudder authority as Vmca approaches with yaw towards the dead engine.

is the Yaw enough to turn the A/C on its back? My answer is yes, my friend argues with full opposite rudder this should not be possible.

Cheers.
