Lecture 20 Gyroscopic Motion Flashcards
1
Q
Occurs whens
A
a spinning body is rotated around another axis
2
Q
angle between spin axis and precession axis
A
90
3
Q
symbol of spin
A
w
4
Q
symbol of precession
A
omega
5
Q
relationship between spin, moment and precession axis
A
perpendicular to each other
6
Q
Moment needed do gyroscopic motion
A
M = I * omega x w
where I is mass moment of inertia
7
Q
if the moment is not applied what will happen to object undergoing gyroscopic motion
A
without the moment to counter act, object will accelerate in opposite direction to M with equal magnitude
