Definition: A type of compass that uses a spinning wheel to find true north by aligning with the Earth's rotation.

Example: The ship's gyrocompass helped the captain navigate accurately through the fog.

Definition: The rate at which a charged particle moves in a circular path when it is in a magnetic field.

Example: The gyrofrequency of the electron increased as it moved through the magnetic field.

Definition: Describing a shape or arrangement that is spiral or circular, often related to certain geometric forms.

Example: The artist created a gyroidal sculpture that captivated everyone with its unique spiral design.

Definition: Relating to the magnetic properties that occur when a charged particle is spinning or rotating.

Example: The gyromagnetic effect is important in understanding how particles behave in magnetic fields.

Definition: Related to a device that uses the principles of angular momentum to maintain orientation and stability.

Example: The gyroscopic effect helps stabilize the airplane during flight.

Definition: In a manner that involves the use of a gyroscope, which is a device that helps to measure or maintain orientation and angular velocity.

Example: The spacecraft navigated gyroscopically to maintain its position in orbit.

Definition: A device that uses a spinning wheel to maintain its orientation and stability, often used in navigation and control systems.

Example: The spacecraft used a gyrostat to keep its position stable in space.

Definition: A rounded, raised part of the brain's surface that is found between grooves.

Example: The gyrus is an important part of the brain's structure, helping to increase its surface area.

Definition: A section of a legal document that specifies the extent of ownership or rights granted, often starting with the phrase 'to have and to hold'.

Example: The habendum clause in the deed clearly outlined the rights of the new property owner.

Definition: Having skill or being able to do things well; being clever and capable in handling tasks.

Example: She is very habile at solving complex problems quickly.
