Why Doesn't a Spinning Wheel Drop Due to Its Own Weight?
Apr 3, 2017 · In this perspective, τ points at the bottom of the page. I understand that that torque changes angular momentum of the wheel and the wheel starts precessing because of that …
How to quantify gyroscopic precession torque? - Physics Forums
Jun 4, 2024 · A classic example of gyroscopic precession is a gyro supported at one end of its axis, with gravity exerting a downwards roll torque, the gyro precessing about a vertical yaw …
Understanding Precession in Special and General Relativity
May 26, 2019 · The spin vector is such a quantity. The fact that evolves according to Fermi-Walker transport is the source of precession effects in both special and general relativity. …
Gyroscopic precession of a spin-stabilized bullet - Physics Forums
Sep 4, 2023 · Hi! I am trying to understand the physics behind the gyroscopic phenomenon called spin drift. Spin drift occurs to bullets that are spin-stabilized over the course of their flight. Spin …
What Are the Units for Precession Rate (Ω)? • Physics Forums
Nov 9, 2019 · The precession rate is given as ##Ω = \frac {Mgr} {Iω}##. What are the units here?: I'm calculating it as ##\frac {1} {rad . s}##. Am I supposed to interpret...
What is the source of additional energy in a precessing gyroscope?
Dec 28, 2014 · I'm trying to think about gyroscope precession in terms of energy, and I'm a little confused. If you hold the spinning gyroscope at some tilt so that it doesn't precess, it will have …
Precession: Explaining the Linear Motion of a Spinning Wheel
Oct 2, 2009 · Probably an easy one... So, I understand the idea of precession on a gyroscope: we've got the angular velocity vector, the angular momentum vector (same direction but times …
Why do bullets precess in the opposite way from gyroscope …
Dec 4, 2023 · 1) Bullet spin causes a bullet to become a gyroscope. Specifically, bullets have their center of pressure in front of their center of mass. Therefore, when pressed, gyroscopic forces …
