Friction

Front

An instrument that contains a disc, called a rotor, rotating about an axis at a high speed, which gives it two important properties: rigidity and precession.

Back

gyroscope

Front

Which one of these is NOT a part of the gyroscope?

• gyroscope frame
• gimbal
• roll attitude
• spin axis
• Rotor

Back

roll attitude

Front

What are the two essential properties of the gyroscope?

Back

rigidity and precession

Front

If an external force is applied to change the direction of the rotor spin axis, the gyro resists the change and moves the force at right angles to the direction originally applied.

Back

precession

Front

... is the ability of a spinning rotor to retain its axis in a fixed direction in space unless acted on by external forces.

Back

Rigidity

Front

The use of gyroscope is

Back

to provide an output of actual aircraft pitch and roll attitude with respect to the horizon.

Front

What is the force resisting the relative motion of materials rubbing against each other?

Back

Friction

Front

What type of friction is present as a body slides over another surface?

Back

Sliding Friction

Front

What type of friction is present between a rolling body and the surface on which it rolls?

Back

Rolling Friction

Front

What is present when a body, which has been at rest, just begins to move under the application of a force?
