🔍 Key Concepts

• Gyrocompass behavior when an outside force is applied • Difference between inertia (tendency to keep current motion) and change in axis direction • How a gyro responds over time when disturbed from its stable position

💭 Think About

• When you push or disturb a spinning gyroscope, what happens to its axis: does it resist only, or does it move in a new direction? • Which term describes the motion or change in direction of the gyro’s axis, not the spinning itself? • Think about which option refers to a rate of the Earth’s rotation versus which refers to the gyro’s response to a force.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices describe properties of the Earth (not the gyro’s response). • Identify which choice refers to resistance to change (stability), not the actual motion caused by the force. • Select the term that specifically means the movement or turning of the gyro’s axis when an external force is applied.
