The discussion focuses on the deceleration rate of a fidget spinner and how it relates to the distance it travels before coming to a complete stop. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the forces involved in the spinner's motion. The conversation suggests that a specific video provides insights into these dynamics. The inquiry is centered on calculating distance based on deceleration over time. Overall, the thread seeks to clarify the physics behind a fidget spinner's motion and stopping distance.

In a fidget spinner. Disregarding what force applied and spinner decelerate (a) at a given time (t), at what distance (s) it travel before full stop?

This video should give you a pretty good idea of the forces at play.
