Gyroscope is a wheel or a disc in which the axis of rotation can assume any orientation by itself. The rotation of gyroscope is obbserved about the x, y and z-axis. This rotation of gyroscope helps to measure the angular velocity.

The motion of the gyroscope is not rapid about the two or more axes.

Thus, the given statement is false.
