What physics principles govern the operation of a torque ball (torque, friction, angular momentum)?

A torque ball—any spherical object set to spin by applied forces—obeys the same classical mechanics principles that govern wheels, rolling balls, and magnetic torque experiments: torque as the rotatio...
