🪁Gyroscopes can defy gravity by spinning a disc and resisting the force of gravity.
🌍The Coriolis effect causes gyroscopes to precess or tilt as they spin.
🚲The gyroscopic effect is also seen in larger objects like bicycle wheels.
🚁The Busch effect shows that objects weigh slightly less when traveling east due to the Earth's rotation.
✈️Airplanes experience an apparent weight reduction when flying east at the equator.
How do gyroscopes defy gravity?
—Gyroscopes resist the force of gravity by spinning a disc and maintaining stability.
What is the Coriolis effect?
—The Coriolis effect causes gyroscopes to precess, or tilt, as they spin.
Do larger objects exhibit the gyroscopic effect?
—Yes, larger objects like bicycle wheels also exhibit the gyroscopic effect.
What is the Busch effect?
—The Busch effect demonstrates that objects weigh slightly less when traveling east due to the Earth's rotation.
Do airplanes experience the gyroscopic effect?
—Yes, airplanes experience an apparent weight reduction when flying east at the equator.
