Precessional motion is a fascinating phenomenon where a spinning object, when subjected to a torque, undergoes a gradual change in the direction of its axis of rotation. Imagine a spinning top. If you nudge it slightly, its axis won't simply tilt; instead, it will slowly trace out a circular path. This is precession.
Ever wondered why a spinning top doesn't fall over? Or how the Earth stays tilted? It's all about precessional motion! With Mad Science, your child will discover the wonders of this fascinating phenomenon through exciting experiments and engaging explanations.
