A flipping coin on table will slow down and drop to the table surface, facing up or down. How can I calculate the flip-per-second declaration rate over time?
For example,
- assuming the coin is at 10 flipping per second when it starts
- how long will it take to stop?
- For each second (9, 8, 7, 6 ... 3, 2, 1, stop), how is the flipping rate changed?
Friction can be approximated as some real world objects (say, a metallic coin on a wooden table). Thanks!
