How a fidget spinner works

How a fidget spinner works

Are you tired of your kids asking for a fidget spinner but not knowing what a fidget spinner is? Well this is how a fidget spinner works. Fidget spinners are a trending toy that looks like a curvy triangle Fidget spinners were made for children with ADHD to help the concentrate but now they are just a toy that lots of kids have. A fidget spinner spins around because there are bearings in it that make it go.

The first thing you need to know about fidget spinners is Newton's first law of motion which means when push the spinner it will start spinning but if you put a force on the fidget spinner like your hand it will stop. The force has to be strong to stop the fidget spinner because if I put a weak force on the fidget spinner like a piece of paper it won’t stop, the fidget spinner might slow down with a weak force but it won’t stop.

Secondly you need to know about spinning force. A fidget spinner has got angular momentum which makes it continue spinning. Angular momentum is why a fidget spinner stops by itself after a while. It stops by itself because the when you spin a fidget spinner you give it force. But after a while the force you gave the fidget spinner runs out and makes it stop.

The most important part of a fidget spinner is the ball bearing in the middle of a fidget spinner. The ball bearing is what makes it spin. The fidget spinner is attached to the ball bearing so when you spin the  fidget spinner the bearing spins and the  fidget spinner goes with it. You are probably wondering what are the three bearings on the sides for well these are for weight to make it spin faster.

This is all in one fidget spinner! I hope you learned something new!!
