The speed of a plane in the absence of wind is 500 km/hr. In the presence of a wind, in order to fly due north at a speed of 450 km/hr with respect to the ground, the pilot must point the plane in a direction 35o east of due north. Which of the following vectors (in unit vector notation) describes the velocity of the wind with respect to the ground?

1) You have a gyroscope and a string. Wind the string up and pull it fast to get the gyroscope spinning quickly. Try to turn the gyroscope upside down quickly. How does it feel different compared with doing the same thing when the gyroscope is not spinning? Finally, when it has slowed down a little (but not stopped) repeat the experiment. Does it feel the same when you try to flip the gyroscope at high speed versus low speed? Explain the physics of what is happening.
