Normally, a plane moves along three rotational axes. “Inertia coupling” takes place when the plane inadvertently moves on two at the same time, usually resulting in loss of control.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Llewellyn King has been a player in the energy space since 1970.

A component’s moment of inertia is its resistance to rotational acceleration. A: They’re relevant whenever an apparatus must accelerate and response is crucial. They predict the performance of shafts ...

The round coin has two related advantages, rotational inertia and being a mini gyroscope. Let us take the square coin first. If it is sliding down a slippery slope, narrow side leading, there is ...

(Phys.org)—Newton's gravitational constant, G, has been measured about a dozen times over the last 40 years, but the results have varied by much more than would be expected due to random and ...
