Boys AND girls both played with these, they weren't considered gender-specific.
A victoiran spinning top is a toy the poor used to play with in victorian times.
yes it is used by rich and poor children from the Victorian times
The hand-cranked metal spinning top, whereby the top is set in motion by repeated downward plunges of a handle and which 'sings' as it revolves, came in in Victorian times. However, the 'whip and top' is much earlier than this, where a small conical wooden shuttle is set to spin and then kept going by striking it with a whip. These date back to Elizabethan times, although the skill required to play with them is much greater!!
In the Victorian era, the cost of a spinning top varied depending on its materials and craftsmanship. Simple wooden tops could be purchased for a few pence, while more elaborate designs made from higher-quality materials might cost several shillings. Overall, spinning tops were generally affordable toys for children, reflecting the era's emphasis on play and imagination.
The Spinning Top was created in 2008.
The force of friction between the spinning top and the surface it is on causes it to stop spinning. Over time, the energy of the spinning top is transferred to the surface as heat, resulting in a decrease in the top's spinning speed until it comes to a stop.
In Victorian times, a spinning top typically cost a few pence, with prices varying based on size, material, and craftsmanship. Simple wooden tops could be purchased for as little as 1 to 3 pence, while more elaborate or decorative versions might cost more. These toys were popular among children and often handmade, reflecting the local craftsmanship of the era.
A Jewish spinning top is called a "dredel".

The smallest spinning tops can be around 1 cm in diameter. Sizes vary depending on the design and materials used to create the spinning top. Some miniature spinning tops can be even smaller, down to a few millimeters, for collectors or novelty purposes.
The spinning top does not show space quantization because the system of a spinning top is not quantized in the same way as fundamental particles like electrons. The motion of the top is dominated by classical mechanics, where continuous values of position and momentum are used to describe its behavior, rather than the discrete energy levels and quantization seen in quantum systems.
