A gyroscope is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity. It relies on the principles of angular momentum and inertia to maintain its orientation in space. Gyroscopes can be found in various applications, including navigation systems, inertial navigation systems in spacecraft and airplanes, smartphones, and video game controllers. ### Key Characteristics of Gyroscopes: 1. **Principle of Operation**: Gyroscopes exploit the conservation of angular momentum.
