DYNAMIC EXPLANATION ON REVERSE ROTATION OF A TOP AFTER CONTACT WITH A PLANE

  • The motion of a top rotating on a plane is related to its instability when the top becomes unstable due to the attenuation of rotating speed. A dynamic explanation is provided for the phenomenon of the top's reverse rotation after it contacts the plane and before stopping.
