Gyroscopic Precession

NOTE: This video will appear in a playlist on Smarter Every Day hence the references to Veritasium. Destin does lots of cool science stuff - check out his channel if you haven’t already We have been collaborating on rotational motion, which is timely for some of the videos I’ve been doing lately. In this video I talk about gyroscopic precession - the “wobbling“ of a spinning top around its axis. This is caused by the torque due to the object’s weight. The big idea is t
