Yes it affects it.
Imagine a heavy top and a light top spinning at the same rate. There are two things which are slowing them down - friction of the bottom pin on the supporting surface and the viscosity of the air, as it is stirred by the rotating surface it covers.
The heavier top has more energy than the light top. Assuming that the two are the same size and have the same shape and surface texture, then the rate of loss of energy to the air is the same for both. It is likely that the friction at the pin will be greater for the heavy top and so the energy loss rate there will be greater. Therefore, the overall loss-rate cannot be decided. The heavy top may have a sticky pin and lose its extra energy quickly, collapsing before the light pin. However, it seems to me that the loss of energy to the air is considerably more than the friction loss at the pin and therefore the heavier top will be losing energy at a rate not much greater than the light top. The heavier top can start with a lot more energy than the light one, and so I vote for the heavy top spinning for longer.
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the speed of a spinning mass of gas when it contracts?
When a spinning mass of gas contracts, its speed of rotation will increase due to the conservation of angular momentum. This is similar to how a figure skater spins faster when they pull in their arms. As the gas cloud contracts, it spins faster to maintain its momentum.
How does the spinning mass on a spring affect the overall dynamics of the system?
The spinning mass on a spring affects the overall dynamics of the system by introducing rotational motion and angular momentum, which can influence the system's stability, oscillation frequency, and energy transfer.
What is the physics behind fidget spinners and how does it contribute to their spinning motion?
Fidget spinners spin due to the conservation of angular momentum. When you flick the spinner, you give it angular momentum, which is then conserved as the spinner spins. The physics behind this involves the distribution of mass in the spinner and the friction in the bearings, which allows the spinner to keep spinning for a longer time.
How did the spinning frame affect the production?
The spinning frame revolutionized textile production by mechanizing the process of spinning, leading to increased efficiency and higher output of yarn. This innovation helped drive the Industrial Revolution by allowing for mass production of textiles, reducing the need for manual labor and making textiles more affordable and accessible.
Does multiplying or dividing mass and volume by the same factor affect density?
No, multiplying or dividing mass and volume by the same factor will not affect density because density is calculated by dividing mass by volume. As long as the mass-to-volume ratio remains constant, the density will not change.
Is gravity not produced when the earth spins which then goes to the center of the earth?
Gravity seems to be an inherent property of mass; the more mass, the greater the gravity. It has nothing to do with the spinning of the Earth.

What causes a planet to have a year?
The suns mass makes it rotate itself, and anything in its gravitational pull spins around the sun and spinning at the same time. That is how we have Day, Night and Year.
How does the spinning mass on a spring affect the overall dynamics of the system?
The spinning mass on a spring affects the overall dynamics of the system by introducing rotational motion and angular momentum, which can influence the system's stability, oscillation frequency, and energy transfer.
What effect does the spinning of earth core have?
It creates mass.
Does the helium on Uranus affect its gravity?
of course......... as long they have mass....

Why was the spinning jenny needed?
Mass production and economic growth.

What is a wind mass?
hello peps! wind mass is some sort of a wind that spins around!! this is also something to do with history as well
What are 2 words for a rapidly spinning air mass that is dangerous that both start with a T?
These are: Tropical Tornado: or a Cyclone.
