Vulnerable to magnetic interference
What is the law of gyroscope I?
The gyroscope will always point south
The gyroscope will always point east
The gyroscope will always point north

What is inertia in relation to a gyroscope?
A force that maintains the gyroscope's position in space
A force that changes the gyroscope's direction
A force that makes the gyroscope spin faster
A force that causes the gyroscope to slow down
What is the law of gyroscope II?
The gyroscope moves opposite to the applied force
The gyroscope moves perpendicular to the applied force
The gyroscope moves in the same direction as the applied force
The gyroscope does not move in the direction of the applied force
What is precession in a gyroscope?
The gyroscope's change in position due to external forces
The gyroscope's ability to resist gravity
The gyroscope's ability to maintain speed
The gyroscope's resistance to external forces
