Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a ship's rotor rotates in an anticlockwise direction (when viewed from the bow) and the ship takes a left turn, the gyroscopic effect causes the bow to rise and the stern to lower. This is due to the gyroscopic couple acting perpendicular to the plane of rotation, in accordance with the right-hand rule for gyroscopic effects.
