The gyroscopic effect causes the spinning gyroscope to resist changes in its orientation, making it feel "lighter" or easier to move in certain directions. This effect is due to the conservation of angular momentum, which generates stability and reduces the perceived weight of the gyroscope when spinning at high speeds.

What happpens when light strikes a dark heavy object?

When light strikes a dark heavy object, the object absorbs more light because of its dark color and heavy mass. As a result, the object may heat up more than a lighter object, as it is transformed into thermal energy. The absorbed light energy is not reflected as much as it would be on a lighter object.


What is lighter than a golf ball?

A pingpong ball. There much lighter like if i throw them at my head with my shotgun it will not hurt much.


Do windmills spin faster in light winds?

No, windmills do not spin faster in light winds. Windmills require a minimum wind speed to start spinning, and their speed is determined by the wind's strength. In lighter winds, windmills may not generate as much electricity as in stronger winds.


Does the mass of the spinning tops affect how long a spinning top spins?

Yes it affects it. Imagine a heavy top and a light top spinning at the same rate. There are two things which are slowing them down - friction of the bottom pin on the supporting surface and the viscosity of the air, as it is stirred by the rotating surface it covers. The heavier top has more energy than the light top. Assuming that the two are the same size and have the same shape and surface texture, then the rate of loss of energy to the air is the same for both. It is likely that the friction at the pin will be greater for the heavy top and so the energy loss rate there will be greater. Therefore, the overall loss-rate cannot be decided. The heavy top may have a sticky pin and lose its extra energy quickly, collapsing before the light pin. However, it seems to me that the loss of energy to the air is considerably more than the friction loss at the pin and therefore the heavier top will be losing energy at a rate not much greater than the light top. The heavier top can start with a lot more energy than the light one, and so I vote for the heavy top spinning for longer.


Does a piano weigh more than a tractor?

In general, a tractor weighs more than a piano. Tractors are heavy agricultural vehicles used for farming, while pianos are musical instruments that are much lighter in comparison. Size and specific models can vary, but tractors are typically much heavier than pianos.

Should somebody make an gyroscope vehicle besides everyday vehicles?

Using a gyroscope in a vehicle has been among the favorite topics of science fiction writers for a long time, primarily because writers aren't necessarily competent engineers. What would be the advantage of a gyroscope? There would be the possibility of recapturing some of the kinetic energy as the vehicle slows, especially if you could find a way to put that energy into the spinning gyroscope. However, the extra mass of any gyroscope that would be able to store that much kinetic energy, would also make the vehicle far too heavy for practical operation. If something like that were practical, automotive engineers would have jumped on it; but if you believe that there is a practical use of gyroscopes in automobiles, perhaps you could develop such a vehicle and make yourself rich.


What is a objects weight after it has gone through a change?

It depends: for instance, heavy hardwood becomes much lighter when converted (changed) to charcoal. Heavy coal becomes lighter when converted to coke.


How do you spin fire Poi?

Spinning Fire Poi is not much different from spinning regular poi. The biggest difference is overcoming the fear of spinning fire. Start with a low burning fuel like rubbing alchohol until you are comfortable with the fire and then move on to more impressive fuels like charcoal lighter fluid.


How much is a new apple netbook?

I believe the pricing didn't change. The new tablet is thinner, lighter, and faster, but otherwise largely identical in terms of features (they did add an extra camera, and apparently a gyroscope).

Had Curette after miscarrying 3 weeks ago bled really heavy for 2 weeks now much lighter but occasional gushes is this normal?

You should see your doctor.


What if your period lasts about 5 days the first 2 days heavy and very lite on 3 day why?

This is completely normal. Most women have a much heavier flow the first few days of their period, and then the flow gets lighter and lighter for the last few days.


Is the I pad easy to carry around?

Yes the laptop can get heavy especially if you have a full day of classes! The iPad would be an excellent alternative to the laptop as it is definitely much lighter to carry around.


What is a gyroscope?

A gyroscopeis a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of angular momentum.[1] Mechanically, a gyroscope is a spinning wheel or disk in which the axle is free to assume any orientation. Although this orientation does not remain fixed, it changes in response to an external torque much less and in a different direction than it would without the large angular momentum associated with the disk's high rate of spin and moment of inertia. The device's orientation remains nearly fixed, regardless of the mounting platform's motion, because mounting the device in a gimbal minimizes external torque.
