What is a solid object that rotates on a fixed axis?
a gyroscope
How long does it take the earth to spin in a day?
1/365
How long does it take for Jupiter to do one spin?
2 days
The changing position of the North Celestial Pole over a 26000 year period is due to the Earth's?
A axis of a gyroscope will "wobble" in a long, slow circle even as the gyro spins rapidly. This phenomenon is called "precession". The spinning Earth is like a gyroscope, and "wobbles" in a large circle due to precession. Right now, the north pole of the Earth's spin is pointed pretty close to the star Polaris. But over 26,000 years or so, the Earth's axis will follow an enormous circle from Polaris to Vega and back again. We're lucky we developed navigation when we did. 10,000 years ago, there was no "north star". In 5,000 years, there won't be one then, either.
We can lift a 15 kilo gyroscope on the end of a stick at arm's length that could never be lifted if it was not spinning. Does this prove that we are not subject to the entire mass of the planet?
No, the weight of a gyroscope does not change, only the torque it exerts on something.
What are the parts of a gyroscope?
Rotor gyroscope frame spin axis gimbal
How can you lubricate a tedco toy gyroscope Mine is not holding its spin for very long and i dont know why?
Becuase its cheap
What exactly is a tied gyro and how do they 'tie' it?
It is a horizontal gyroscope employing a 2 degree-of-freedom gyroscope with its spin axis aligned with the earth's magnetic meridian
What does spin up the missiles mean?
I believe it is the act of spinning up the gyroscope within the missile.
How does an airplane gyroscope work?
A gyroscope in an airplane is firstly a gyroscope, so it works by maintaining its orientation in space. The instruments in an airplane that use a gyroscope are the attitude indicator, the heading indicator and the turn coordinator. The attitude indicator and heading indicator's gyroscope runs when the vacuum pump on the airplane sucks air in and over the blades to cause the gyroscope to spin. When the gyro spins rapidly (up to 18000rpm) it aligns itself upright and the airplane's instrument aligns itself.
What does rifling do?
Rifling, the use of lands and grooves carved into the metal inside a gun barrle, imparts spin to the projectile. This spin gives it greater stability in flight (by the gyroscope effect) and gives it a greater range and accuracy.
Who invented the first gyroscope?
The Gyroscope was invented by Léon Foucault in 1852.
How does a gyromagnetic compass work?
when airplanes suddenly change course the corrective mechanism is a gyroscope, which has the property of resisting efforts to change its axis of spin. This system is called a gyro-magnetic compass.
When was Australia - Gyroscope song - created?
Australia - Gyroscope song - was created in 2007.
What was the gyroscope used for?
The gyroscope is used to balance and keep boats and airplane steady By Inori
Where is the 3ds gyroscope?
The 3DS gyroscope is planted in the middle of the 3DS, beneath the touch screen.
How do you write gyroscope in a sentence?
The satellite was built with a gyroscope to enable it to remain in the correct orientation.
