Me & Mine Colourful Beech Wood Spinning Top

Precession is a phenomenon seen when an object spinning about an axis is acted upon by a moment about a second axis. The object is seen to rotate around a third axis. Precession is seen when the spinning top wobbles before toppling over completely. Secure the cardboard shape where you want it on the pencil by winding rubber bands onto the pencil above and below the location. The students should decide where the cardboard shape should be to achieve the optimal performance.

Next, test how long the tops will spin first using the blue 8-tooth gear and then the red 24-tooth gear. The yellow gear of the launcher can mesh with both the blue and the red gears of the top. The greater the radius, mass and/or velocity of a rotating object, the greater its angular momentum.

Optimise your design by using coins to add weight to the spinning top. The spinning top demonstrates what we call a ‘gyroscopic effect’ – as the top spins it resists the moment generated by gravity acting upon it, as well as the reaction force of the table. It is because of momentum that a planet or a star will move in the same direction unless something happens to push it in another direction. One way to think about momentum is that it measures how hard it will be to stop an object. For example, it is really hard to stop a car rolling down a hill towards you because it is so large . A car going fast will be even harder to stop because it is travelling at speed .
