Angular momentum

Angular momentum (sometimes called moment of momentum or rotational momentum) is the rotational analog of linear momentum.

See Tippe top and Angular momentum

In physics, angular velocity (symbol or \vec, the lowercase Greek letter omega), also known as angular frequency vector,(UP1) is a pseudovector representation of how the angular position or orientation of an object changes with time, i.e. how quickly an object rotates (spins or revolves) around an axis of rotation and how fast the axis itself changes direction.

See Tippe top and Angular velocity

Center of mass

In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space (sometimes referred to as the barycenter or balance point) is the unique point at any given time where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero. Tippe top and center of mass are classical mechanics.

Clockwise

Two-dimensional rotation can occur in two possible directions or senses of rotation.

See Tippe top and Clockwise

Energy

Energy is the quantitative property that is transferred to a body or to a physical system, recognizable in the performance of work and in the form of heat and light.

See Tippe top and Energy

Euler's Disk

Euler's Disk, invented between 1987 and 1990 by Joseph Bendik, is a trademarked scientific educational toy. Tippe top and Euler's Disk are educational toys, Novelty items and spinning tops.

See Tippe top and Euler's Disk

Friction

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other. Tippe top and Friction are classical mechanics.

See Tippe top and Friction

Kinetic energy

In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the form of energy that it possesses due to its motion.

See Tippe top and Kinetic energy

Potential energy

In physics, potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.

See Tippe top and Potential energy

Sphere

A sphere (from Greek) is a geometrical object that is a three-dimensional analogue to a two-dimensional circle.

See Tippe top and Sphere

Spinning top

A spinning top, or simply a top, is a toy with a squat body and a sharp point at the bottom, designed to be spun on its vertical axis, balancing on the tip due to the gyroscopic effect. Tippe top and spinning top are spinning tops.

See Tippe top and Spinning top

Tennis racket theorem

The tennis racket theorem or intermediate axis theorem, is a kinetic phenomenon of classical mechanics which describes the movement of a rigid body with three distinct principal moments of inertia. Tippe top and tennis racket theorem are classical mechanics.
