| It has a magnetic moment, and therefore muons can be considered as little magnetic gyroscopes which precess in magnetic fields. |
| In an astrophysical setting like a binary black hole system, the directions of the individual types of angular momenta change, or precess, over time. |
| The spinning motion of the proton gives it magnetic properties and causes it to precess in an applied magnetic field, much as a spinning top precesses in a gravitational field. |
| The gyroscope is suspended as nearly as possible at its centre of mass, so that gravity does not apply a torque that causes it to precess. |
| The Security men were attempting to instruct the computer to precess the wheel back to its original position. |
| Gyroscopic heading indicators typically precess at a rate of between 2.5º to 3.0º every 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the manufacturer. |
