Gyroscopic precession of a spin-stabilized bullet
Sep 4, 2023 · Gyroscopic precession occurs when the bullet translates this forward rotation 90 degrees due to gyroscopic precession. Thereby, the bullet translates some of the downward …
The precession of Mercury's orbit • Physics Forums
Feb 13, 2020 · Hi, I was reading about the general relativity to get some basic understanding and it was said that the proper answer to problem of precession of Mercury was provided by the …
Direct vs. Retrograde Precession • Physics Forums
Oct 16, 2017 · (This is not about the motion of the planets.) If one takes a body in space (not outer space, necessarily) with only central forces, it may exhibit one of two types of …
Why do bullets precess in the opposite way from gyroscope …
Dec 4, 2023 · TL;DR Rifled bullets are gyroscopes: precession maintains the center of pressure before the center of mass. A side effect is deflection from yawing (aerodynamic jump) and …
Why Doesn't a Spinning Wheel Drop Due to Its Own Weight?
Apr 3, 2017 · This is the experiment I am a bit confused about this part: There is a torque on the wheel from its own weight. That's the τ on the picture. In this perspective, τ points at the …
Intuitive understanding of Thomas precession - Physics Forums
Jan 24, 2014 · The Thomas precession is a purely kinematic effect resulting from the non-commutativity of Lorentz boosts. In Galilean relativity the generators of boosts all commute …
Why Does Precession Occur and How Does It Affect Gyroscopic …
Jan 19, 2013 · Precession in gyroscopic motion occurs due to the applied torque from gravity, which causes the wheel to gradually turn from an upright to a horizontal position. The …
Torque-Free Precession of Spinning Plates • Physics Forums
Apr 17, 2005 · The discussion centers around the precession of a spinning dinner plate when tossed into the air, specifically questioning whether it precesses clockwise or …
Precession of spin in a magnetic field • Physics Forums
Jan 30, 2021 · The classical meaning of spin precession in a (for simplicity homogeneous) magnetic field in direction in non-relativistic quantum theory (i.e., using the Pauli equation) can …
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. …
