In summary, there are no inertial forces that could make the pendulum precess.

Since the centre of mass is offset this would make the particles precess like gyroscopes.

The slower a front wheel spins, the faster it will precess when the bike leans, and vice-versa.

Orbits precess in a way unexpected in Newton's theory of gravity.

They have already seen the moons'orbits precess, or wobble, due to Sylvia's non-spherical shape.

  • Move in a gyrating fashion; "the poles of the Earth precess at a right angle to the force that is applied"
  • (precession) the motion of a spinning body (as a top) in which it wobbles so that the axis of rotation sweeps out a cone
  • (precession) the act of preceding in time or order or rank (as in a ceremony)
  • Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotation axis of a rotating body. It can be defined as a change in direction of the rotation axis in which the second Euler angle (nutation) is constant. In physics, there are two types of precession: torque-free and torque-induced.
  • (Precession (mechanical)) Precession is the name given to the process of one part rotating with respect to another due to fretting between the two. It is described as "precession, in which a round object rolling in a circular ring in one direction will itself turn in the opposite direction. ...
  • To have an angle that varies cyclically; To wobble; to rotate about an axis that precesses
  • Refers to precession of the equinoxes, the retrograde movement of the Vernal Point (which marks the beginning of the year) through the constellations, possibly connected with the mutation of the Earth on its poles. Makes fixed stars appear to advance each year.
  • Precession - an oscillation motion through which a body's rotation axis describes a conical surface. The terrestrial axis undergoes a slow precession, due to the combined attraction of the Sun, Moon and planets. ...
  • (PRECESSION) Change in the orientation of an object's axis of rotation due to a torque produced by an external object. The Earth has a nonspherical shape, being oblate spheroid, bulging outward at the equator. ...
