What is the physics involved in a Beyblade?
I have got to make a report of about 15-20 pages on the working of a Beyblade and the Physics involved from the launch till the rotation of the Bayblade stops. Please, can anyone suggest me some websites giving more information or explain it themselves? Thank you in advance for your efforts!
Hi Ashwad P, Happy New Year!! I have no idea what a Beyblade is. I did a search on Wikipedia and all it has is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyblade_(toy)
Hope it helps!!
You seriously have a report to do about the physics behind Beyblade ?
I definitely encourage you to head to the World Beyblade Organization : http://worldbeyblade.org/
Are you already registered there ? It is basically a community that gathers all the competitive bladers, and any other fans. Not a lot of them know all about physics, however I know you will definitely get a serious answer from a veteran as soon as possible. You should look at these topics :
http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Question-for-the-general-bey-community-about-the-technical-aspect-of-Bey
http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Physics
http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Spin-Velocity
I understand that not all of your questions will be answered with only those topics though, so you should also try using this thread for all the questions you have :
http://worldbeyblade.org/Thread-Ask-a-question-get-an-answer-New-Thread-Rules
Otherwise, those pages from Wikipedia could always help :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyroscope
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_energy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum
There is definitely a lot to cover on the physics of any spinning top.
Hopefully this gives you a good start,
