Advanced Physics I: Gyroscopic Effects and Solid Dynamics

This lecture covers gyroscopic effects and the dynamics of a solid, including the moment of inertia, examples of inertia tensors, kinetic energy, and the motion of a tennis ball. It also explores the energy and rotation of a magic wand, and the physics behind a sliding mass on a helical groove. The lecture emphasizes the conservation of mechanical energy and angular momentum, providing insights into the stability of equilibrium positions and the nature of ball rebounds.
