Newtons first law: if it is moving through space, it will continue to move as it was. If it was translating, it continues to do so. If it was rotating ("working') then it continues to rotate.
Now in "space", this does not consider external forces, such as Gravity, if gravity is acting, then it is more complicated.
Which of the following best describes the motion of a working gyroscope moving through space?
a. the gyroscope both translates and rotates
b. the gyroscope rotates, abut does not translate
c. the gyroscope neither translates nor rotates
d. the gyroscopes translates, but does not rotates
