Spinning tops are a common child's toy, but much more principles of physics are at play than meets the eye. Moment of inertia, stem circumference, weight, friction, and acceleration all play their part. • • Does weight affect the speed of a top? Do wider tops spin longer? Do heavier tops spin longer?
