Question

What scientific principle(s) does the toy yo-yo use? Explain in simple words if you can.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

In my honest opinion I believe that the yo yo toy uses the principle of simple harmonic motion coupled with the principle of conservation of energy

1. The principle of simple harmonic

Explains/describes it to and fro movement up and down and sides ways

2. The principle of conservation of energy explains how it stores energy in potential form(bounces to the hand ) and converts it to kinetic energy (bounces away from the hand).
